Excellent watch as ever Elin along with your struggles with parts that don't fit well adds more inertest. Looking forward to your next episode top work👍
i looked up and suddenly the sill and the floor were gone! Ouch! I don't think I've ever seen that before. I had to speed forward to make sure they got replaced! 🥸 As always, an excellent video. Thanks, Elin.
Nice video Elin. This will be a great project to follow. If it were me, I would cut the body mounts off the inner sill, straighten them out, and loosely bolt them into place on the frame. Align all the sills to the door, and once you are sure they are in their final resting place, tack the mounts onto the inner sill, then take the inner sill out a weld them properly.
You need to let Rusty outside, that is what he is telling you! When I am not sure of how a part is installed or made, I look the part up on the Moss Motors site, because they have photos of most items. I am not a fan of how Triumph makes the floor connections to the bulkhead, making a repair section for the bulkhead and folding it below the floor section sounds like a real good idea.
You’ve made a good start Elin although I’m guessing the real reference to the final tacking-in will have to depend on what the critical requirements of the actual door fit are going to be, (as I’m assuming you want to keep them original) - This is a very interesting project, thank you my young friend! 🖖🇬🇧
I found that red oxide inner sill to be very frustrating to work with. Poor alignment of outrigger supports, measurements, etc. BTW, your one day of work took me more than a year ;-) looking forward to more progress. Cheers, Mike
You made quick work of that side and with your plan I would say it probably won't take too long to get this side back together the way you want it...that is if the panels fit correctly, and I wonder if they will when you see that it was braced after the doors were removed. Good video and good luck as you move forward.
I was lucky when I worked on TR-2 & 3's back in the 60's & 70's that genuine Standard Triumph body panels & parts were still available. Those frame mounting plates are way out.. When I was doing these jobs I could safely say the if the holes didn't line up on replacement panels it was probably a twisted frame (chassis) that I'd be dealing with, and I did on occasions which caused much blasphemy 😅..
Elin, maybe Rusty is just antsy because he has 'cabin fever'? Why do I think that reproduction car body companies have an 'open bar' for their employees! lol

Rusty was having a good look at your work Elin - he walked round the car seven times! He's a tough dog to please.
Nice,beginning.just continue on doing what your doing.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Great progress
This B Post A Post confusion is kinda silly! 😀Nice work, my friend!

What a great project Elin. Is it like the one you have in your stash ? 😊
Wish I hadn’t sold my partially finished TR3 now.
Understood Naden, - (but did you manage to replace it with something even nicer?) 🤔
Outstanding. When you’re all done, I hope you create a dvd of all the episodes.

“Oh! Hi guys”
That would be a big leap of faith for me. You accomplished a lot in this video. Why didn’t you just elongate the holes in the mounting bracket?

I often think how much better those repair panels would be if they just supplied them in pieces instead of welding them together incorrectly...

Ah, the joys of non genuine reproduction parts.
You'll get to the bottom of it.
