One of the items that I needed to check before pulling the “tub” off the chassis was the sills under the rocker covers along each side of the car. These basically hold the front of the car to the rear. Everyone online was indicating that I needed to check this even if the silts looked good on each end. I was skeptical since the ends looked great and to do this I needed to drill out all the spot welds. Since the rocker covers needed replacing anyway I decided that caution was the better part of valor and I *really* didn't want to end up with a MG sandwich when I wend to lift off the body. Once I had all the spot welds drilled out I was shocked at what I found…
On the outside
On the inside…
So its full stop on lifting the body until I get these sills replaced…
Time to learn some welding skills…
