looking for pictures im welding sills up

[truck+micra matt]

i did find some pics but ive gone to look again and cant find them can some one please point them out to me as i want a good look inside the sill so i can know what i need todo roughly ,i dont like the idea of welding it up on the out side with out knowing whats on the inside but the sill was quite weak as when it was on the ramp the sill started to chunch up inside thanks for reading, ps its been welded before so may be a med iput will be useful

also its the inner and outer of the sill

best to cut the old patches off and start from scratch eh matt, and then plate the inner sills first, then outer ones after

that was the plan but just need a good look inside , there was a guy that haddone one and posted pics up too
cant find it any where

[truck+micra matt]

[truck+micra matt]

ok got too late to take a picture but it was hiding some major issues , i really dont care its taking for ever , this one will survive !! basicly rebuild from the outter body to the just under the seat and theres me thinking it was going to be a little hole ! lol

wish id seen this before i started, mines been welded before so was a right mess , will look ok once im done tho i hope these are pics in the dark soo far, last pic is of the inner sill i made that goes from near the seat and supention mount down to the bottem lip to create the wheel arch

 

[truck+micra matt]

the bottem lip for the sill had got crushed on the ramp plus that lip had so much weld on it im a total beginner and im doing better lol

on the second pic towards the back you can see that extra bit of steel thats in line with the sill lip , ive got to extrend that too as well as doo what youve dine but ive got to make a new bit all along to take the outter sill as the inner had already been attacked lol

 

[frank]

that inner panel is,nt important really matt, the rail behind that is tho (seatbelt and axle anchors attached to it)

 

[truck+micra matt]

well least its all done right and what one, the bit i made??

 

[frank]

well least its all done right and what one, the bit i made??

this bit here mate, its pi## thin, and uncapped at the ends, and only about 1/2 a meter long, the inner and outer skins hold the most strength (especially that inner rail that follows on from the rear chassis and holds the axle mount and seatbelt anchors)

 

[truck+micra matt]

ar see behind the red arrow the inner sill im also replacing that bit too

 

[truck+micra matt]

rust 5 is showing the new bit of inner sill im putting in

 

[truck+micra matt]

has any one ever used the rust remover gel before welding? only on the surface rust tho ? but these are my wepons against rust lol try and make my welding better lol

 

[Wagoneer]

If it's only light surface rust then a flap wheel on your grinder will get you back to nice clean steel. There's a weld through primer available to spray over the clean metal if you can't get to weld it immediately too.

 

[truck+micra matt]

just dont want to keep grinding it back
plus its awkward todo with a flap wheel because of the angles thats all
