    The sill, door and rear panel are probably all out judging by the pics mate. Easiest route would probably be to fit new sill, then make the door the right shape with a new lower repair panel.

  6. If you see where sill was done looks all wrong . but even if I remove this then door as @Dubs says then that also needs new lower repair to get shape. Whats your thoughts..[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I would leave the rear arch alone TBH. It will probably be fine if you fit a decent sill and make the door the same shape as the arch.

    if the door is to long, which it looks to be you will need to shorten it, the sill is fitted to high at the bottom which is whats pushing it out at the top, you can still buy those sills genuine for £15.

    I'm assuming the inner sill wasn't replaced?

    That looks as if they couldn't get the door to fit right; so they put the cill in the wrong place to try and hide it.
    Top bodgery!

  14. Going to cut out old bottom edge tomorrow. The bottom of inner door is wrong angle when outer overlaps is this common and can I reshape to fit or will this cause rubbing on bottom roller. [​IMG][​IMG]
