Good morning all.
I have a 1994 Panda Colour which I have been gradually working on as my first project car . I have arrived at the front passenger side sill area .
I have done some research and realise that there are 3 layers, floor, inner sill and outer sill all coming together at the seam under the sill and originally spot welded together. However I have cut out a section of inner sill and come across this section which looks like an extra reinforcement piece. Should this section also continue down to the sill seam and be included in the "sandwich"?
Should it continue right up to the front end of the sill in to the wheel arch area or does it finish where mine does?
This vehicle has had various mot-type repairs before I owned it and at this stage I am looking to make it safe and road worthy, and if it proves to be mechanically ok (within reason for an old car!) I may decide in future to put new sill panels on (which I already acquired some time ago).
Any images that you have would be great, thank you.
