The other side is ok but I'm going to do it anyway, to be fair all that you can see is replaceable and cost is minimal .

Holly hell Tony! That would scare the shit out of me.

Perhaps plastic fantastic and Sherman tank chassis ain't so bad after all!

Looking forward to seeing the finished item.

I'm hardcore( bit mental :( ) so no worries on my side. Bare in mind it sits on a chassis so there is no strength there and the body is bolted to it.
I will post some pics when that side is done and you eill see how easy it is TT

Good work there Tone :thumbsup:

It'll be worth it in the end, and keep the pictures as it will add value and desirability when you eventually come to sell it.

I've had to do the same on the 330, totally rebuilt the inner sills. Not through rust, but to repair the damage when the car was cut up with a blow torch, so you have my sympathy :shock:

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Regards
