OK so basically I have replaced the rear arch, heelboard, inner and outer sills and am about to put in the rear arch front closing panel.

Basically I was hoping for a little advice on how to get this to tie together as well as possible. Any advice is much appreciated also it looks like a water trap down there so anything in particular I should to to treat it?

Great thanks, I can't believe that they made it like that, no wonder everyone needs a new heelboard at some point.

There is a slight difference if you use all original panels or Heritage and that is the inner sill stiffener. Mine is home fabricated so the tongue that is welded onto the close out panel should be longer unlike mine which is shorter.
