😊well done look forward to the other half of the video
Thank you.
The passenger doors never come off on the pins - because they don't get enough use, usually - I pull the dash & unbolt the hinges from inside. You could use dynamite & them pins wouldn't budge. If you don't cut the bottom off the wing, you can't properly fit the outer sill - so it has to go. Usually, it's pretty corroded anyway - I weld it back on regardless in order to have a proper shape to go off when making new wing-bottom bits - you can cut the grot & replace later.
Yes it’s definitely the way to repair the sill and A piller. A fellow RUclipsr did a little video on where he cut his wing on his Xr3i restoration, he’s called Sid’s xr3i restoration. I’m looking forward to doing the drivers side as someone has already welded a half sill on but I bet it’s rusty behind it, so keep an eye out for that video.👍
@@ModernClassics81 I'm going out to the workshop in about 10 minutes to lash into one - no need for video. :-) Welding rust on Fords is what we do. First though, Coffee..
Thank you for the shout out Chris excellent job looking spot on bud 👌 clad you cut the bottom of the wing off you would be kicking yourself not cutting out that rust and have to do that repair when all painted 👍
Thanks again Sid, I didn’t even know the front of the sill had rust in it till I cut the bottom of the wing off. So glad I found it now and not later like you have said, after a paint job. 👍 I can’t wait to cut the drivers sill off to see if there is any rust behind it.
@@ModernClassics81 no problem Chris the mk4 shape seen to all go in the same places 👍
Excellent job
And done right Chris 👌🏽
Thank you Scott👍
Mine went in all the same areas as well mate. I've put a video up on here of the before & after. Your's will look lovely when it's finished mate, great video's as well.

Wow, yours looks amazing mate! Thanks for the link to your video, I’m definitely going to remove the dash and front screen to check the bottom corner. I didn’t know they go there too👍
@@ModernClassics81 thank you mate….I think they go everywhere to be honest! 🤣 definitely worth removing the dash though, mine had started going between the a pillar as well, so best to get that sorted before it’s a problem. Great job though mate, enjoying the videos 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you! I’m really enjoy doing the car and making the videos. I glad you are enjoying them👍
