Tiny's getting his sills done

Hi Col, just been checking out your pics. I'm a bit surprised you havent braced the door apertures. I've heard a few stories of buckled floors cos of lack of support.

Hi Bob I did think about it but realised that the centre pillar is still attached to the inner section of the sill & can't really go anywhere the nature of construction of the P6 base unit makes it incredibly strong even with big lumps chopped out & anyway the new bits are in & the doors still shut fine

Regards Colin
 
Hi Col, thats reassuring news and will save some time. Almost ready to start on mine. Keep the pics coming mate. I think I've got a little digital camera somewhere I dont use anymore. Takes great pics, if I can find it and the software you can have it.

Regards Bob
 
Hi Bob that's very kind of you, I'm using a mixture between an ordinary compact camera & those disposable fellas at the minute, it took me a while to realise that you dont use them & then just throw them in the bin like the name suggests :roll: :LOL: :LOL: but seriously as & when I get them developed I'll keep sticking pics on here so you can see what's going on.

Regards Col
 
Bobby, the P6 is so strong you can cut the roof off without needing to strengthen the base unit !, so removing outer sills isn't a problem.

On that last picture you can just make out the words "no panels" in yellow on the inner wing this seems to be some kind of factory thing because various other bits of the car have stuff written on them ie inside the bootlid it says something like "black car"
