  • In this video I replace the doorsteps. using heritage panels that include the a and b posts.
    This is the last stage before I can move onto removing the full floor.
    This will be my last video until 2021, so I wish you all the very best for Christmas and New Year 2020.

    Top work, the car’s progressing nicely. Had the same issue on the door frame with blowing through the metal, so frustrating👍

      Thanks mate, the metal was thinner where i had welded the brace bar to but got there in the end

    DB, It‘s a bugger when panels are cut short but you made good the repair, I would stick some thin wire down the A pillar so you can hook it
    on to the new loom when you need to fish it back up to the roof line. Cheers Dave

      Not a criticism but just an observation are you using the normal iPhone mic? Your videos are always a lot more quiet than everyone else and have to stick the volume right up. I got a novo mic for £30 to try on mine, will let you know how it goes if your interested

      I have two cameras i use. One has a good mic and the other isn't too great. It takes quite a bit of time editing them to try and level out the sound between the two, trouble is the camera with the mic isn't great a close up footage shots, something for me to look into in the new year👍

      I’ll let you know and well you can check for yourself when I post the video. But this one had great reviews for the price on RUclips and shocked me on a blind test with the rode one. For £30 if it makes that much difference it’s a steal. I’m brand new at this so not in a place to criticise anyone ahahhahahaha! Watch this space see how it does

    Just doing this bit on my MPI, realized I might have made a mistake cutting all the hinge panels out, I was considering even removing the inner A post stiffener for a new one, but that's my datum and only the lower edge is a bit rusty on the surface so will clean up ok.

      Yeah if the metal is good there is no point in repkacing more than needed
