Will prob fit the outer ones first then that will give me the shape to make the panel and give me something to weld to at the bottom

Well been busy both spring hangers replaced and 3 bits of other welding done on the chassis also undersealed about half of the back of the van (what a mess i looked after that), Started on the cill under the sliding door and it is a mess the right hand corner is all rust and the inner cill has a big hole.I have cut it back but losing heart a little also the bottom of the side door is worse than i thought. Can you buy the inner cill
Thanks Neil
