floor pan and sill replacement

[FC P/VAN]

I need to replace both front floor sections in my wagon and outer sills, lower "A" pillar sections are pretty bad also, should i do floors before sills or other way around??? possibly need to do inner sills also depending on what i find when i remove the outers.

cheers

I would do the sills first, one side at a time, in case you find you have to repair inners as well.

I did the sills first (inner then outer,cut the outer off first) then all floor sections.Doing it this way helps to maintain some alignment of the B pillar.I also had the advantage of doing it on the rotisserie so I was able to put the car on it's side to take the load off the sills and floor.Be sure to try the doors back on the car with the sill tacked in place as I've seen what can happen if you don't.Get all your door gaps right before you completely weld the sill.I think this is all in the techinfo anyway.I have posted a lot of pictures in my thread "It has begun,but will it continue".Cheers,Jamie.

.Be sure to try the doors back on the car with the sill tacked in place as I've seen what can happen if you don't.

Definately very important I bought a wagon project years ago that had already had the sills done, looked like everything had been done well, only trouble was the back doors didn't fit inside the frame.
