Progress report

Yesterday's efforts:

Posted Image

Got the drivers side sill pretty well done. I still need to clean it up a bit, but its more or less straight and rust free now

Today's efforts:

Posted Image

Got the passenger's sill and the lower guard rust repair done :spoton:

All went pretty smoothly. Had to reshape the Rares repair patch a fair bit, but I got there in the end

Tomorrow I'll clean all of this up and get the windows out so I can fix the doors, and finish straightening the rear quarter. :spoton:

Cheers Ben. Yeah, definitely cruising this Summer... I don't reckon I'll make the HTC Christmas cruise, though... Our Christmas pageant in Cowell is on Christmas Eve, and the olds reckon I'm dreaming if I think I can enter it in that. So I'm out to prove them wrong. Done before Christmas, as they say

I definitely am, can't wait.

Do you reckon I should weld the sill to the guard? This is my current dilemma

You can see here the gap, I don't know whether I should join it or not.

Waddya reckon?

Lots of little spot welds? Last thing you want to do is warp the panel though.

I know how to do it, I'm just asking if I should

Closing it makes the sill nice and smooth... I'm leaning towards doing it now.

I think my point is being missed

I will either leave the gap there, or weld it up. So it will either look like the guard and sill are seperate, or one piece.
