well just a small update here. I turned the car around on saturday 29/1/11.
it hasn't been out of the garage since august last year, anyway i turned it round and its now back in the garage ready for the n/s to be sorted and repaired, new sill and a pillar repairs are needed, and the rear outer arch needs a few bits replacing, here's a pic from when i pushed the old gal out into the daylight.

This weekend i made a start on the n/s sill. it didnt look too bad at first but after inspection with the wire wheel and removing a tub of filler i was left with a shit sill . it had been plated and bodged up at some point. after cutting it out i found the inner sill wasnt in the best shape too. Pics below are of the sill before and after cutting. im also working on repairing the inside floor/bulkhead area atm too so theres a few pics of that with this update. Got a coat of paint on the o/s inner wheel arch too.
