I’m going to go back to doing some bodywork, so I am going to get back onto the sills and, ‘b’ pillar and ‘c’ pillar. First target is the’b’ pillar repair.
Many thanks . Quite a satisfying job, and the YRM parts are great, but the challenge will come fitting it up and getting the alignment rightNice job on the B & C pillars
Yes, YRM are excellent.Many thanks . Quite a satisfying job, and the YRM parts are great, but the challenge will come fitting it up and getting the alignment right
That first go wasn't a mistake, it was just a practice go to get your eye in.Okay, so a bit of a confession now………..after rebuilding the’b’ pillar, I thought it would be an idea to weld it onto the new sill. Which would have been fine, if I had welded it the correct way round! I welded it facing inwards rather than out the way. After turning the air blue for a few minutes, I cut it all back off again. This obviously made it much more difficult to align and reweld. Anyway, it’s all done and seems to be right now. I gave it a coating of anti rust ready for paint prep.
I like your thinking . Sounds good to me!That first go wasn't a mistake, it was just a practice go to get your eye in.
I think, to be honest, that’s probably the way I would go if I was going to do it again, despite the extra cost. I have done it this way to try and save some cash, but the finish would be so much better using pre-fabricated brand new components!Yes, YRM are excellent.
I'm no welder so am going for the complete b, c and cill fully welded. Left and right! (£ouch!!)
