Got the outer sill fitted today! There is still some finishing off to do, but at least I feel that I have made some progress. Pretty pleased with the fit, everything lined up well including the wing mounting holes. Pictures at:

Yes, when this side is complete, I only need to do the same to the other side!

Once the other side is done, what is still required to be repaired ? More rust or can you start to put it back together ?

The other side is the last major piece of welding. Once this is done, I have a few more repairs to do to the inner wings, then the job of removing the front and rear suspension and other parts to prepare it for paint. So still much to do!
