I've actually been through your thread - nice work. It came together nicely tonight - bit of test fitting, bit of cutting, bit of thinking. Think I have the right position for the arch and repair plate. Have to do things a bit backwards as there's no point welding to bits that will need chopping. I've no lip for the inner arch to meet outer that doubles up as seal holder. I think I'll weld a home made lip to the repair panel.

I STILL haven't finished mine .......

Are they ever finished though?

May be a bit backwards but had to fit outer arch to rebuild inner. Spent fair few hours on it today. All set and welded in and the door alignment etc seems bang on

Got a section of c pillar to add and a tie in from it to the arch for the seal.

Body mount is absolutely wrecked

Chopped out the section of 4mm box lol. I have a feeling the bolt won't undo easily.

Coming along nicely

I've got a gap....

I'm going to weld a 2mm plate onto the repair plate to fix the gap rather than butchering the sill I think

Resto ..... yer wheel arch plate with the seat belt nut in ...... the seat belt nut bit looks further in than mine......

Is it on the plate the right way up ??

Optical illusion.....?

Mine from underneath

Not too sure but it won't be used anyway I don't think. I want to sound deaden the lot then either ply or carpet. Then it will be set up for me and the dog I think

How are you getting on with yours? Where abouts in the world are you? Would be good to compare notes and grab some tips!

your right I think its the wrong way round

I’m in Newport South Wales.

Just getting back into doing more on mine. Hopefully finish it this summer ........ said that last year!!!!
Lol

Don't say that!!!

Yep. Staple 3 together to get the correct size & double up the middle to prevent gravy spillage.
