Viking,
have you ever tried the 'antipodean' approach to repairing bodyshells?
It makes life soo much easier when sorting out those crunchy rear box section ends... 8-)

I know next to nothing about welding, so please forgive me if this a n00b question; but doesn't that repair in the last photo' need to be seam welded? Also, when chopping the sills out for replacement, shouldn't the body shell be braced to keep it's shape?

Sorry Neil, don't know what ''seam welded'' is? It seams alright to me :mrgreen:

The seat belt and bumper plates are spot welded from the factory, so is the inner mudguard.

When I remove floors, sills and corner posts, I always fit both doors before welding to make sure that nothing saggs and that everything fits nicely. I hate doors that can't open and close properly. At the same time I use a jack to lift the body so the pedal floor is straight.
