Off-side outer sill

Right, this is where things started to get a little better. I don't have any photos, but I cut out the complete sill assembly and replaced it with a new BL part. By this time I had bought a spot welder and I must say it was a joy to use, especially as I had studied the repair manual and put in exactly the right amount of spot welds in exactly the right places (unlike in the factory). I also migged where necessary so it is very strong.

The only issue I had was a small fire, due to me having painted the inside of the sills with Hammerite and not leaving it to dry for long enough i.e. more than ten minutes.
