I had the grinder in action again tonight...Here is a picture of why Over sills are bloody awfull things..These sills have not been on the car for long, and the floors look great from the inside of the car..but...........



The over sill is in perfect condition, the floor has rotted from the outside..Condensation gets trapped inside the sill and rusts through the floor...no air movement to keep the dampness out...stupid bloody oversills I hate them!!



Its not that bad really..I was going to weld new metal in the rear floor anyway to stengthen the area where the new cage will fit..I cut away the seat squab and removed the companion bin on the drivers side..





The floor was rusted right through here...again not really a problem as it was getting replaced anyway..All in all im pretty pleased with it.. not as bad as I thought it would be..

Not had much time to work on the cars over the past couple of weeks due to work and weekend shows!! but I took a day off today and removed the subframes from Tatties...He is mounted on the Spit now ready for the grinder and welder..not to bad underneith...the boot floor is rotten in the corners..but thats not a problem as im going to remove it all anyway and weld in a flat floor..The foam filled petrol tank will be the only thing in the boot so dont need a spare wheel well or battery box..







Wont get any more done this weekend coming either as Im off to Ft Augustus, spannering the Rally clubman on the sprint!!

Big thanks to "H" for a loan of the Spit...Cheers mate!!
