We have sill.

Outer B pillar on.

Short side rocker.

All done. just have to spend some time grinding the welds back.

Next job is the patch up of the LHF corner of the cargo floor and the rear of the front inner wheel arch.

Got this far into the floor before getting the game over call from inside

So what are you whining for

Today's effort

Got the wheel arch done along with the LHF cargo floor all done

plus a little grinding.

Also cut out the fuel tank divider frame, i'll get something bent up during the week for this, So next I need to do a repair on the LHR wheel arch then it might come of the rotisserie for a bit so I can have a crack at the rear torsion housing/gearbox mount.

marty i could have posted u some floor sections instead of the flat stuff , have some small tray bits left over from dions dc donation too

All good, I do have some floor section but for the small section that was required I figured the flat would be fine. I did the other way on the rhf corner, hammered a ribbed section down on the end then welded it to a right angled flat section then welded it in. It just didn't look neat, too many welds in a small space. I guess if I was to worried id stick a complete floor in.

i have some floor bits with the folded ends still , but all good .. I just did that to a full width tray , fun job

Ahh well that would have been good haha. shit happens.

I have to work out how I am going to do the rear part next cause that needs a full width section from the fuel divider back. I have a Rob King floor section that i'll cut in half for the main part, but what to do around the edges?? i'll sort it out

get a piece bent up n weld it together , then seam seal , depends how orig u want it , i but welded the section of the tray to the bash plate
