I'm gonna be replacing my first sill soon, only I have the sill up to and including the first groove in the floorpan. Now when it comes to putting it on I know I need to do loads of little welds a few inches apart, and then go back over gradually filling in the gaps, so as to prevent to much panel distortion. But am I better off working from one end to the other, or am I better off doing a weld one end then one the other end then one the other end and so on gradually working my way into the middle?
Any advice appreciated.

You don't need to do it like that unless you're fitting an oversill, which is severely frowned upon!

If it's a proper sill, you only need to seam weld the ends.

diagram time..
