Yeah I'm prityy happy with it to be honest once I've cleaned it up and done the repair sections to both rear arches it can be rolled back down, could of been so much worse, but then the shell was dry stores for at least 5 years :)

Hi Danny, you should drill some holes into the oversills where the raised sections are to let the sills breathe and also to squirt some waxoil in and let water out.
Also check that the aforementioned oversills are welded to the inner sill, you may need to plug weld along the join from the outside to make it extra solid.

Good luck with the project.

Or do it properly and cut them off and fit proper sills
