Emu
    It's the front part of the inside sill where the sub frame & the bottom of the guard bolts on. Same as the left side one thats in the vice. The bendy bits that goes at the bottom of the "A" pillars are made & laying under the car. Tomorrow we cut out the old then weld in these bits & bobs, then weld on those nice new outer sill section you got & then its up to KEV to work his magic. Once Hilda's painted bolt her back together, & let's go curzin.

Might just rub it in with a shot of the tail section covered in colour and looking pristine.

You da man Sarge!



That metal lip along the back has been completely re-done by the above mentioned former military man and he managed to keep the little recess line that runs along the back. Enuff said.

            Come HELL OR HIGH WATER I am here for my Mighty Leader. Rain, Hail, Sleat nor Snow will not stop me from doing my job.

         Why I hear you say, simple

COME ON AUSSIE COME ON COME ON
           
           Next you'll be blaming the sheep for getting in the way. Wink

            Watch this post is all I can say.

Regards
Sarge

P.S Must go now I have a small bit of fabrication & welding to do.

I thought I might add my own pics to contribute to the disappointment of our Kiwi.

Here's a close up of Sarge's A Pillar work.

Just about ready for Kev the body n paint man to perform his final magic.

Emu, Sarge & Kev

Old hilda will live to be atleast 100 the way you guys are going at it.
Who knows she may even get a letter from the Queen. LOL

Great Job guys keep it going.

Cheers Jim

PS. EMU one of Sarge's club stickers would look great on the back window when she is all done and dusted.

Yes Jim,

I can't wait to see the final sticker result.

I hope you're right about Hilda lasting a hundred years coz that's when I'm scheduled to make the last payment on the loan to pay for all this!!!
