Hi Rob
Same areas to do as my one,cheak out viva 2300 on restoration
If its front wing your trying to replace,maybe use the arch from this to piece back arches in,but only if its totally gone,
But looks like most of rear sill area should be covered by chrome splash trims after repairs
And some of the NOS sills you can get offered somtimes have a good profile of the arch at the back of sill
Hope this helps
Terry :goodluck:

Hi HC
Am happy with 150 for wing. Is their anyway you could talk to your friend and get a courier. Or (now don't shout) Just cut and send the bottom section. Yes i know it's a sin!

Hi Terry
So are you saying if i got a nos offside sill this would have the rib on the edge and i could use this to replace the bottom section on the nearside wing? This would be great where do i source a nos sill. Am not a member of droopsnoot group.

You can still get Vinylcoat, that's my plan to 'make' a decent dash in blue as I've never seen one for sale.

Making panels. Pain in the derrier and something that scares me. But take a look at this guys threads, some great advice and inspiration, you could make the ribs without much trouble after a bit of practice. I think filler would crack and fall off in no time.
