Are you going to fit the full oversill or cut it down? Reason i ask is you've got a pretty good shell and oversills are a future issue in the waiting |

I am still learning to weld myself bud but I find it easier to weld thick wall steel compared to thin sheet. |

The reason you SHOULD have cut the new sill down is that they are a serious water trap and rust propigator. Its not that they just 'cover' any previous rust, its the fact the rot the car out quicker! On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

The scuttle corners you can buy are a load of crap, my mate got one the other day and it was piss poor. Might be bet getting a new gen scuttle, less hassle in the long run mate, or find another good scuttle corner going from a scrap shell or something On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I'm guessing this was a reply to Sprocket. You fancy carrying an excess 1.3kg and reducing torsional rigidity of the chassis. Just because you simply cant be bothered?

He would have caged up the car and he does know what he is doing, I don't see why people flame others so much over an oversill. Yes it's not an original replication, but how many cars on the road have around 3 crusty sills covered by another oversill. I don't see a problem in using an oversill IN PLACE of an original sill. If the person who fits them wants to replace them again sooner rather than later then so be it. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

It's a learner track car for a 9 year old! Couldn't be bothered? I chose not to, l looked and removed all of original sill/outer skin. Theres no more skins on this floor pan now than there would be on a standard! If all you want to do is post smart arse comments in a tread, go and do it some where else. I'll think twice before I update again, as I've never been on a forum that hold so many portentous users. i cannot believe a new member can come on here and talk to respected members like shit and get away with it for so long you pissed me off right at the beginning when you started with the blunt attitude and it went on and on to the point that out of respect i did not post anything in this thread because im a firm believer that if you have nothing nice to say then dont fucking say it every one has there opinion and are free to speak it openly, weather you listen to it, take offence by it or be a cock about it is down to you personally you say your learning both with the car and with welding, well fucking listen to advice given, people on this forum have been there done it and willingly tell about the problems they had members freely came you you with friendly advice and you kick off??? dude all there trying to do is help that is what we are all about that what has brought this forum forward so far, the only smart arse comment in the thread span from you and then peoples reactions to you serious reality check over Edited by Brett on 15th Dec, 2013. Yes i moved to the darkside |
