This happened to anyone else?

Post by mshaw1980 »

So I cut the floor in order to remove the knackered inner sill but it appears that the C pillar has pulled the gap wider. See below.

I have tried a ratchet strap to pull the gap closed in order to weld it but cant close the gap enough to butt weld it. Any ideas greatly appreciated

Just a thought (I’m no expert) is the van on level ground or loaded more on one side.

Hard to say from the one pic but I'd be looking carefully along the body line.

Drilled a few holes and used my ratchet strap again and it pulled the gap closed. Phew!
