I was just looking at mr scoops thread and the work he had done on the sills of his notch. My notch needs the inner sills doing both sides but i don 't know what they look like because they have been plated over in the past(meaning where heater vents should be). Mr scoopes seem to be a different shape to mine, is this because mines an early car and if so does anybody have any pictures of what they should look like.
Cheers.

It's not the best of pics, but it should look something like this.
There's also a 3rd panel between this and the outer sill that's part of the full body side. It often gets overlooked because it's totally rotted away, but it contributes a lot to the rigidity of the sill.

Thankyou mike, is that panel square on the inside or is it slanted. On my car they are slanted(if that makes sense).

There were some RH ones on VZi, but I don't know if they are still available.
