I managed another hour today, started by offering up and extending the seat box support panel from 2 hacked ones.

I opted for just one join trying to eliminate all the bits that have been butchered.

So the plan to cut both parts where the black lines are

Once they were cut, the two parts I am using I TIG welded together, I am still learning with TIG and Aluminium so looks rough as I used too thick filler rod. Once it's ground back it will be fine

Then using measurements taken from the old sill and B pillars I chopped up a new set to fit.

Here is the old set

I didn't get any pictures today of the other bits in position as the heavens opened and rain stopped play...
 
Here is a couple of pictures of the dry fit....

Both sills cut to length and the B Pillars in place

The standard size TDCi seatbox in position and bolted to the extended cross panel.

And with this overhead picture it gives a bit of an idea just how much more foot room you have and space down each side of the seat box.
