Front door sill and
floor (right).
(1961 2CV AZU)
|
A little more than surface rust… |
Cutting out the sill from the door frame and removing
spot welds at the A pillar. |
|
Before cutting sill. |
After. |
|
The sill is now separated from the car. |
The floor is now out and the new sill, which had to be
cut to dimension (This sill was for a 4 door 2CV), is ready to be presented
in place. |
|
Scary, isn’t it? |
After sand blasting and an application of weldable primer. The remaining rust will be treated then
sealed by the body shop. |
|
Presentation of the new sill to be welded. |
I have punched holes on the floor for spot welding. |
|
I tacked the floor and sill to make sure it is in place
and the door opening is correct. |
Underneath view. |
|
Welded, grinded and primed. |
|
|
Since this sill was not intended for this car, the
owner will correct the difference at a later date. |
The next step will be to paint, then seal all seams. |
