Went to see the car yesterday and the middle section of the sill has been welded in.




The lad said that cause of the sill been rotton and the man hours they have put into the repairs it gonna go over what I wanted to spend.He said he could finish this side build the car up then take it away and come back in a few months or next year.I dont see the point in that tbh so I will have to get some over time banged in at work now lol.

I would rather wait a bit longer and get the whole car done.I can see me getting the car back just in time for the winter lol.

We are gonna drill some holes in the inner and middle sill sections so that when its done I can blast the inner sills with waxoil to try and stop the bastard from rusting again.

fair play mate for using the car and not locking it away for 90% of the year.

considering it actually gets used and sees the rain shes in good shape there no spring chickens anymore these old saphs

it will all be worth it in the end

Thanks matey. Tbh if I had a house with a garage and could afford a little banger I properly wouldnt use it as much but I dont have a choice.

It just makes you think how many of these big money saffs have nackered inner sills like mine.

Update time.I went to the bodyshop to give the lad some cash for the work he is doing.

The sill is tacked on.

The arch has also been brazed on.

iTrader: (1)

So yeh a bit more of a progress.The lad said ive properly spent my budget on doing this side only cause of tje sill been in a poor condition. I will have to get some pennys saved up so he can get the paid for doing the other side.

I think he is doing the front seat mounts too cause they look a bit poorly.

Thanks for the replys people.I dont know ive ive mentioned this above cause I cant see it lol but the lad at the bs said I could just get this side done then take the car back in a few months to get the other side done but I didnt see the point cause the car is already stripped down so there is no point in building the car back up to strip it again in a few months time.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Yeh you can get repair arches matey.I bought some for my car.The repait arches I bought dont have the flared part of the arch so if your copping the whole lot out the arch wont have the same shape.

Where did you get the panels and fuel flap seal from? Having a bit of bother with getting sills for my white 2wd.

matty325

looking good mate hopefully get mine done before xmas,lol is that dinitrol a rust killer as well as preventer as I was looking at it for doing inside the sills and chassis on the xr3i im restoring

matty325

I think you'd be surprised if you starting cutting out the sills and chassis on some 7-8k cars they'd be fkd as well

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

The lad in the bodyshop got the sills.He showed me a book of body panels which you can get for cars.There was a fair few panels for the sierra.

The fuel seal I got off ebay which came from car parts express.

iTrader: (1)
