only a small update so far this week as ive not had much time to get on it but the drivers sill is now ready to go on so i will show you how i got there

i started with filling in all the drain holes in the floor this took forever cutting out 9 little two penny pieces of steel using tools desinged to cut strait lines needless to say i had very sore fingers by the end but i giot there and welded them all in and ground down most of the way stonechip will cover the rest lol

then i needed to make a new seat belt plate as i threw the old one away but the 3mm steel i had was to narrow so i cut and welded two pieces together to make the plate i welded on full power on both side just to make double sure and then drilled a hole in it and welded a 7/16 nut over the hole again on full power so i dont think it will be going anywhere soon. when that was done i drilled loads of holes in it and plugged it into place on the inner sill and also seam welded down the 3 sides i had access to

and that was the last bit that needed doing before the sill goes on oi gave it all a thick coat of white paint

abd just for fun i cut down the oversill and tried it on to see how it will fit. its not that good at the back but pattern heel board and patterns sill are never going to fit perfect so like the other side it will have to go on the outside again

thats all for now should get the sill on later this week
