End of sill finally boxed in, holes will be put in for 25mm grommets so I can inject protective wax in at regular intervals!

Some shots now of the rear arches, plus the lack of any inner arches!

Yes, like so many areas on this car it could so easily be enough to make you think it's not worth the effort! But still I keep going... As the rear inner arches look likely to be extremely tricky if not downright uncomfortable to repair with the car sat upright and plans to put it on my rollover jig then the repairs to said area will be left until I can get the car upside-down. Trouble is the jig mounts through the bumper mounting holes and seeing as the outer arches need repairing I need to be able to mount the bumper to get the alignment right. As you can see in the picture it has at some point had some repair sections grafted onto the outers, they didn't look too bad but I spied the rivets from underneath and the alignment to the door wasn't quite at the right level. |

I don't suppose for a moment that repair sections are available anymore so I set to and made my own.

Once alignment was sorted out using the door and bumper for reference then the old one could be cut away..

Welded into place, still free floating as such so more work needed to the underside to ensure it kept straight with the bumper.

Before that bit could go in though the boot floor had some rot to get rid of...

Boot floor section made up and welded in, this was made to overlap the original bumper mount points to create double thickness there, then plug welded on the flats and seamed from below and above.
