Hi all, this is my first post of probably many as i have hit my first problem whilst restoring my gtv. Im trying to fit a new sill i bought from classicalfa (very good service and part) but i have a few questions regarding fitting it.
When i have the sill clamped up and in position it is curved out in the middle and tucks back in at both the front and rear wing panels. not by much but the curve is in the sill itself and no matter how much massaging i do with it whilst on the car its still not quite straight (according to my steel ruler anyway), so im guessing they are suppost to be like this and designed to curve out in the middle? it still looks very good but its very annoying.
Finally has anyone got any tips to make sure i get it 100% in the right place as im not to sure about the quality of the repairs someone has made to the door (welding a strip over the bottom and covering with filler
) so im tentative at lining it up against this.
Here are some pics of the car so you can see what im doing
