Re: MDA Mk1 with Gulf Arches - Martin P

With the roof vent finished, at least on the outer bodywork, I moved to the Sills. When I came to initially align them I wasn't totally happy with the curvature going back under the car so I didn't follow exactly the line up to the pre-cut panels. The front was o.k but the rear had a different radius. I decided rather than trimming the sill and making it fit, I would go with the curvature that seemed correct to me and make a new rear panel to cover the gap.
I saw that on some original cars the sill did have this rear cover extending back into the car. I've attached a photo I took at Brands Hatch some months ago showing this feature.
So here goes....
