Yea, everyones really helpful on here I took loads of pics in the hope it would help others, so really glad they are helping you I also found its a bit of a moral boost sometimes, when you get to a low point in the resto (which every one does at some point) just look through your post to see how much you've achieved ;D ....just try not to take 2 years like I have lol! ;D ;D(or 7 years like VWbusman ;D)
Reckon might b 2 years diddymen!! Hi fellas,gonna have a go at removing jpoints the weekend,outriggers seem ok but il have better look the weekend,my outer sill seems fine but inner is rotten,iv seen c+c do quick fix inner seals with cut outs for top hats so u just slot it in,anyone used these or am I better to just get proper sill?
proper sill if your pulling the jacking point off you can slip them under the middle H sections....as least it looks very tidy above A lot of people would prefer your bus including me... 8)
just a few pics of what im about to cut out this weekend. iv seen few people had probs wiv sills not right size,who seems to sell best replacement part? cheers
