December 22, 200718 yr Author comment_216267 2 hours work and my shoulder was killing me.... So this is what I did today :lolcry: I have found some problem rust areas. As you can see on the passenger side, after I had removed the inner guard once before, I found a massive rust hole that ants were using as an entrance into my car, so I had to quickly patch it up with some body-filler to stop the little bastards making a nest in the back under the carpet. The driver side, which I didn't take pics of, has even more rust around the start of the sill panel there. Definitely a panel beater/sheet metal workers job. Its coming along slowly but there is usually progress made with it each weekend. Report

February 9, 200818 yr Author comment_226556 As stated, last weekend the motor was pulled out. I didnt take any pictures of it as it was a relatively simple process, but I have this weekends pics :) Enjoy! - The Sill Panel - The nasty rust (above) which will have to be cut out and a new section of sill panel made to fit.

February 11, 200818 yr comment_226882 I know how you feel Raven, my panel beater almost had a fit everytime he pulled off another panel, new bit of rust hiding - looks good when it's done though. Can't wait to see it, driving next to me. Report
