Well the first sill is finally on.

Now we have a bit of leading to do to seal the joints and blend it to the original panels but so far so good.

Lead laid onto joint between sill and rear quarter….





Will try to avoid lead poisoning tomorrow as I file it off! If I turn up at a show looking the same colour at these emoticons then you will know i didn't :o  :lol:

Lead Poisoning  :o

On the up side I don't look like a smurf yet!

RHS sill finally on complete with new lower A pillar, new step, new lower quarter and new wheel arch - all hand made from flat sheet.













The keen eyed among you will also notice the original rear quarter is now not looking like a bag of spuds from a poor previous repair.

This is amazing.  When do you think she will be back on the road?  Luckily I managed to get a Rallye last September, after spending a longtime looking.
