replacement panels

Post by jord294 »

hi guys

apart from main stealer, can anyone recommend me somewhere to get hold of a n/s sill please?

i've had a bit of a look around the car to see how the car might fare when it goes for test, and i think it might fail on sill, as it's a little rusty and flexible :(

i say a sill, as a patch would make it look untidy in my eyes :wink:

had a quick look at 'hadrians', and beever no longer exists ?

help appreciated

thanks

There was a replacement one on eBay a while back Andy. Don't know if it sold or not, so you could have a look at completed listings?

No-one seems to make sills, I had a look meself, probably why my one was off a Fiat :supafrisk: Access to one I could take to bits with an angle grinder would have been nice too.

The last time I started I started cutting up a car with a petrol powered angle grinder I had some old fart come out of a house a good few hundred yards away and complain he couldn't hear Eastenders :shock: May as well commit suicide now mate :roll:
