All,

 

Just wondering if anyone has used these in repair on their sills?

Looks like it includes the top of the outer sill (bottom door frame) that the old sill section didn't include. Anyone able to confirm?

Thanks

I haven't used them but you are correct those panels do include the bottom section of the A pillar and the nose of the sill that the front guard sits over.

I believe they are made by that Muscle car parts mob that make the other repro panels for the LC/LJ models.

Thanks for the response Dave,

 

I mean does it have the top of the sill section where it joins the inner sill as per the below picture?

 

I assume it does looking at the bit sticking up at the other end to the a pillar bottom

 

Yes.

Top & bottoim part where they get spot welded yes by the pics although read on here the endcap that goes under front guard no on replacement piece anymore due to some mishap.

 

Muscle Car Parts listed as out of stock.

Endcap is that's what mine needs more than the sill panel.

 

Wanted to go look at them in person before buying but Muscle Car Parts being out of stock has killed the idea for now.

I went to the Roxburgh Park Rare Spares store, the outer sill they had in stock had no end cap. Had to make one from scratch.

Cool,will probably hit em' up next week.

 

Is it worth changing whole sill when it's mainly the endcap & less than foot of sill panel damaged?

[madtoranajzedded]

Nar..i wouldnt.. unless it is heavily pittied
from inside.before you cut new sill to
length.do some measurements to see if the
line on new sill matches up with the original
one.I had one 5mm out..

Will try to remember that!!!

 

Basically no endcap not worth buying but yeah didnt think of the lines.

[gtrboyy]

I try to make that will look like abortion haha

 

Happy to do 90% of the grunt shitwork then get mate to finish it off so it turns out nice.

 

This is only car I get nervous about for sentimental reasons.

Hi Chris

You need to copy and past the Image file.

Nice work Chris. Did you hang the door to check the gaps before you welded the new sill on?
