my 3 projects have arrived

Thanks for that, its alot clearer now what i have to do. God knows what whoever put the sill on was doing?? or why theres the end piece missing

 

Sorted the sill problem now...I think

Found an inner sill section in the bits that came with the campers, so cut the end piece off and welded to the fitted sill.

 

That looks better.

 

Ok not done an update for a while, so i thought i'd better let you know whats been happening

After sorting out the jacking points and the inner sills etc, i had to replace the first top hat end sections both sides and the front center crossmember. Then replace the floor section...Sorry forgot to take any pics of this stage :.

Had to repair the cab fllor on the drivers side


Replaced the deformation panel, and do various repairs behind etc


The engine wouldnt turn when i tried turning the the crank pulley, so had to remove the engine to investigate. hoping it was just the pistons stuck i removed heads etc, but they were ok....So a strip down was in order, turned out to be the dizzy drive was siezed ???
While the engine was out i replaced the right hand engine bay paneland resprayed the engine bay.


There was various rot on the body that i cut out and replaced with good metal
Roof section

The rear crossmember was rotten as was the the valence so had to be replaced


The rear corners had already been replaced and both battery trays, but bits seemed to be missing and had to replace parts so everything came together :
