I bought all the panels for my classic from them, they were all excellent. Made from better gear than the original, and I drilled all spot welds in floor and fit the sills to the makers joints and they fitted as well (if not better) than genuine

Sounds good to me.
Did you change the inner sills on yours? I need to do one of mine and worried about doing it. :scratching_chin:
I have a set of outer sills to put on, but need to do the rear arches, front arch and inner sill.
Cheers Stu.

Unless you are restoring the Rangie I would suggest you consider replacing the sills with something a bit stronger. I have just done mine and replaced with 100 x 60 box section with 3.5mm walls. It wasn't actually that bad a job.
Rear arches - if it's the outer arches they are quite easy, if you mean the inner wheel arches (or wheel boxes) then you could be in for some work. You can't buy replacement inner arches as far as I am aware so you would need to fabricate repair patches.
Do check your rear cross member. If it needs replacing YRM do a decent one but this is a bit of a fiddly job, best to do it in conjunction with boot floor repairs i.e. remove boot floor, replace cross member then replace boot floor.
Front arches are generally easy enough to patch/replace.

Have you got any pics?
Would that be something a novice like me could do?
I have found a company on e-bay that does plates for the rear wheel boxes with the seat belt holes in.
Think the cross member is ok but will check.
Oh yes, well, when you say change, doesn't that imply there were some inner sills there in the first placeSounds good to me.

Don't be afraid by the inner sills, piece of **** once you get in there.
I've done the box section thing, and its fine, but as he said really, depends what you're planned use is. Having said that, mine is used heavily off road and was used for a period without rock sliders and the yrm sills are as straight and strong as the day I fit them

Ok. That helps. Think I will go down the ymr route. Looks most simple. The Rangy will be used for green laning, pay and play, few challenge events and getting to work in the snow. So nothing to challenging for it. Got some side steps to go on so that will help protect them.

Done some digging and as long as a number plate can be read from 22m and is a proper plate not a sticker then it is legal

So will leave it be and see if I get told off in the MOT..

Cheers Strange,
Still working on the shed at work so I can put the Rangy inside and strip it down properly, will be loads of photos then, probably just piles of rust on the floor.
Rent for the shed is having to do up the bosses MF135 that will be sharing its space, Labour only, fair price I think!!

Got the rangy in the shed now. MDF and carpet underneath to work on, got to jack her up and sit her on axle stands and work will begin. Time scale is till the combine starts rolling...
Get Dr Evil to service the combine, you'll have all the time you want!!

Did a bit more tonight,
Took the floor out of the boot, under supports, chassis, tank etc. all look in good order. Even the rear cross member seams ok but will look into that a bit moor.
If anybody else is doing a strip down to this extent then remember it's easier to romove the head lining and trim with the floor in...
I on the other hand got carried away with the air drill then had to pearch on the chassis and supports
Found a lot of condensation on the roof but think thats about normal.
Took rear lights off as well but got ****ed off with the light so stopped taking pics
Spending a day on it on Saturday so more pics then...
