Replacement sill's for Z3 roadster

[Geoff Crispin]

Wasn't there a post a couple years ago where spursfan chopped an almost rust free inner sill panel out of one of his scrappers for somebody - i seem to remember seeing a photo of said scrap car folded in half once the sill was removed.

If I recall correctly it was @Sean d who did this during his full 2.8 restoration probably around 6-7 years ago now. Mind you, Sean is a professional car restorer and his work is show quality. There are a few threads on here showcasing Sean's work. I'll see if I can find it and put a link on

Thanks a lot jack, I just had a quick look and it seem's to be just what I will require -- and even better by a real pro. I now need a day's peace to read it and digest it ( mentally not orally ) Great of you to look it up and send the link, really appreciate your help regards Frank

TThanks for some very interesting comment's and info, When I said tin cans I know that cars have been repaired n the past with can's - bodges and old sock's stuffed into main chases rails - I saw plenty when I had a garage back in the 70s.

Try working on 1960s Triumphs for some real botches... I had one last year, owner arrived wanting a door handle but decided he'd like a 'look' underneath on my ramp. The car was inches thick in underseal, underneath it the rear chassis outriggers had gone completely, just air so nothing supporting the outer edges by the rear wheelarches but he had built the underseal up over various bits to give the appearance of solid metal. Didn't worry him, car is MOT exempt. Scared the hell out of me, though. I made him up a repair section and told him to get it welded in asap.
