Am preparing to address the poor condition of my project sprint with new panels on order from Biondi.
Primarily the sills, jacking boxes and underfloor cross member are in line for replacement; driver side (LHD) in general being noticeably worse that the other. Obviously more cosmetics.
Despite the rusted out sections the door shuts currently appear good (although I haven't measured in a while).
Is there a prescribed order in which to proceed with this? Given the extent of the work is it advisable to strip back to the shell alone or keep the car on it's suspension etc while possible?
I had thought that 'worse' sill side first and cross member last was the way to go.....along with some temporary longitudinal strengthening inside the car prior to any cutting.
I've done panel replacement before but not really where a significant number of key areas were so visibly effected!
Any thoughts welcome before I get to the point of no return.
