Nice to see you have been practicing your fabbing skills

Looks like your at exactly the same stage I am. Tat retrorides thread is brilliant, he’s a really skilled and generous with his advice type of guy.
I got that inner c panel too, I felt much better about reference points once I test fit it.
Great job so far keep it up, I need something to copy haha!
I am concerned about fabbing up the inner c pillar. I had to fab the b pillar on the other side and it was such a PITA I bought the whole b pillar for this side like you have

They all have the same issues, but I think Roger has the most advanced challenge

What’s left of crossmember...


Front outrigger...


Fitted at the rear...

From below

From behind

Front

Length measured from front flange

Height at rear

C panel infill and strengthen clamped in place over the remains of the old one


By the way, I mind MetalMick8y not fitting the outer sill until he had the side panel in place for a test fit, so I’ll be sticking at this point while I do the B, C, rear arch etc etc

You first! Almost glad I ran out of gas

A reminder of the “before”

From underneath...

And looking backwards from below...

A bit of JB Weld would have saved you loads of time

And it’s waterproof!! Fantastic! Would one tube be enough?

I keep trying to work out where you are...

Is the the floor just behind the offside B post and the tab is there to be bent down onto the outer sill ?

Right location, I think the tab is just to provide extra support to the triangular filler plate that goes on top, as there’s just a weld to tack it to the B on the other edge of the filler plate.

Nice work, I think we’re step for step at the same stage, same side, same job.

Steady on, I'm going to have to play catch up then

I’m RHD though, and it’s my first side so I’ve a hell of a lot further to go! As for you carrera, you can learn from our mistakes and execute it perfectly... no pressure!

Well your certainly making good progress Roger, to be fair Carrera you’ve got a little bit more to do than us.
My longest job has been unpicking the old repairs
