Inner sill repairs now done! 4 plates welded on. Middle sill to go on next.

Plus welding in the nice new jacking points.

Lovely.

Middle sill now welded in place, ground down & seam sealed.

Outer sill next.

[simon.williams]

Outer sill trimmed to fit and button weld holes drilled.

Outer sill now welded on. Getting closer!

[simon.williams]

Getting there slowly but surely!

The only part I’m a bit dubious about is the c-post where I have had to do quite a bit of patching and welding. Hopefully got all the rot out. At least I know the metal is good below it!

[johnnydog]

Looks like you've been busy!
Don't forget to create the artificial seam at the back of the sill where it meets the front edge of the rear wing! All too often this seam is lost during repairs and it just doesn't look right without it and is an obvious indication that repairs have been carried out!
Well done with all the effort you've put into it so far though!

[simon.williams]

Thanks, I’ll look into where this seam should be and see how I can do one.

Front wing patch went on this evening, much head scratching and trimming, but now fits well.
