I have been finishing off a few bits under the drivers side inner wing and not its all shiny but its getting there

it appears that when the strut tops were changed the person forgot to take the original metal out... as you do

and found this small hole which isnt so bad

tonight i thought id take the paint off the sill and see what state that was in so I know what panels I need to get as I am going to get the big/hard welding done by someone who knows what they are doing

the sill looks to be good but it does have a dent in what should be ok to just pull out and tidy up rather than replace which is good...

the problem is that i caught the door with the wire bush and some body filler dust flew out which was worrying - it turns out that i had caught the bottom of the drivers door which looked to be in good condition - I was wrong it was fill of filler

it looks as though it was knocked down a bit then skimmed over with filler - not the first time this was done on the car! this is also the same story for the drivers side rear door too! Upset is an understatement

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
