thanks, I enjoy welding for the most part, except the part when ya have it just perfect but then go at it one more time because ya can't leave it alone and then blow a hole through the metal . As you say, get better in time

This is what I got done today. Cut out some more of that rusted inner sill, didn't want to cut too much away as I have yet to brace the heelboard seat area.



Fixed up the lower lip with a fresh piece, will probably do the same with the top lip as it looks pretty bad as well.



Boom, welded in the replacement piece.


Protected it all up after I welded in another small piece.



The inside still needs some work doing on it to get it lookin nice will do that when the car is the right way up. Just need to make a piece to fit that gap then I can grind it all back and get this area finished off

That is neat welding. In fact the whole job is very clean and tidy. Keep up the good work

Hello,

It has been a long time since I have been on here! I am planning on selling this project sadly due to moving away and simply not having the time to continue it (which I always intended to go back to!) However, I am unsure what to sell it for! The parts in this post pretty much are the same, but the shell of the car is somewhat more rusty than it was previously due to being sat outside (it was covered up by a tarp for most of this time). I have all the paperwork for it. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Put it on Ebay with a low start price to get interest and let the market dictate the price?
