New sill fitted...

Ok with the lower wing flange repaired - it's time to fit the new sill. With the help of my fellow 'Black Nail Gang' members Pete and Dick and a promise of a BBQ after - Monday of the Bank Holiday weekend was set.

As usual it was p*ssing down, so I put extra cover over the garage doors and setup the gazebo for cooking under.

I had a couple of goes trying a test fit the sill but with three pairs of hands made it easy. Dick brought his new toy a spot welder - which was great and made easy work the top edge. Using the trolley jack and block on the bottom edge we worked along clamping it into position and then spot welded.

Plug welding the A and B pillars and then the inside areas. Finally welding the rear flange of the sill.

Great job and many thanks guys! With the food cooked under the gazebo (still raining) and a few drinks with the ladies it was time for me to say 'now we know how to do it' the other side should be a doddle!
