So next i went at the passenger side sill. The reason i did this is because by working from the back and then the front i reckoned the measuring was going to be easier, because there was so much metal missing in the middle. also i reckoned it would be easier to seal up that way, but regardless, i was extremely happy with how it was taking shape.

Next i had to mould the sill into the B pillar. This turned out to be a bit of a complex task as there are actually a lot of different curves and angles all meeting together. However, even though it was a bit of a challenge, it was one of the more enjoyable pieces to fabricate.

Just a reminder of how the joint for the sill to B pillar is suppose to look

So as ye can see, i blocked up the rear of the new sill and then made the patch that joins the front of the arch to the sill itself. That was a challenge and TBH i didnt like making that patch. Its grand getting the curcvature of the patch right and mating it up to the arch aswell, but its the outer shape is the challange as this has to mirror the shape and curvature of the outer skin. Ill put it down to getting tired of that area but i just found that small piece a challenge. Next i just filled in the remaining patches

So all of a sudden there i was standing in the workshop with a big smile on my face after i realised that the metalwork on the passenger side of the car was complete!!!!!

Everyone doing a project is going to get pissed off at some stage during it and inspiration of some kind is needed..........Heres mine. My car is going to be like that someday........only better!!!
 
Guys, can someone do me a favour please. Can someone let me know if the photos are coming up on the forum for ye please. Im using dropbox and i can see the photos obviously but dont know if ye can see the photos or not..... If ye cant see them can anyone using dropbox let me know what setting to change and where it is on the dropbox setings
 
Hi Doyle, your photos are not visible to me. Not too sure with drop box I use the photos in my phone library when posting them on here.

Hope you get it sorted looking forward to seeing the photos of your progress

Cheers for that. I suspected they wernt visable when i went onto the site without logging on one day. im going to have another look at it tomorrow and try get it sorted
 
Hey lads long time since posting but i have been busy. I tried updating the thread last year to show the work i waa at but the photos didn't come up on the site and every time i tried to fix it it just wouldn't happen for me. When i started the project i also started a build page on Facebook to keep a log of everything in chlonogragh order, i put a link to it below if anyone wants to have a look. The good news is that I'm at the stage now that I'm going to be reasembling the lj very soon. I just have a few small bits to sort out and I'll be putting the body back on the chassis. When the whole project is finished in also planning on editing all the photos and videos of the project and combining them into a YouTube series which I'll link here aswell. If the link doesn't work can ye let me know and I'll try fix it
