#72 New Doorsteps fitted

#71 Driver's doorstep removed

Image
 Also the remains of the outer sill popped off with a screwdriver 🪛 that was how good the welding was 🤬 I've not found any Blu-Tak yet but there is time.

#70 Vent Panel Repair

Image
 The vent panel sits between the inner and outer sills. RO had stuck some patches over rust - no attempt to clean up the metal or treat the rust. Any I've done this repair and I'm an amateur.

#69 Pic of RO Perfomance restorers

 Just about to paint someone's car. They'd probably do a better job!

#68 Inner Sill fracture found

Image
 This is just ahead of the jacking point. RO Performance claimed to do work to MoT standard - I think this is a fail! 

#67 Outer sill had to be removed

Image
 This is what was behind the outer sill. Some of the crappiest welding I've ever seen. Most of the plug welds had not penetrated. Does this look like a professional repair to you? It's not even welded around the edges. And with the crap removed. Only one plug weld was holding the rest came off with a screwdriver. 

#66 Jacking point on Driver's side rear

 Things were a bit worse for wear so I cut out the jacking point. Repairs will all be done before the new jacking point is welded on.
