mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
im sure range rover blues has sills being done step by step in his gallary pic on his range rover for the basic idea

Range Rover Blues:
 Not the definitive "how to" guide, it's hard to keep the camare clean when you're up to your armpits in rust, but you'll get the idea.

STOP!!!!!

This is the best time to stick some box section steel in, 60*120*1400 at 4-5mm thick, cut a slant at each end then plate over, these are great rock sliders, I did both of mine in under  5 hours, and they have been severly abused without fear of damaging the sills.

Total cost from local metal merchant was around £35 ish

lee celtic:
I agree but I used 60 x 60 box 3mm thick just cut along both sides of the sill about 20mm up then slot in the box section and weld both edges (I drilled and pop rivited it in three places just to hold them in place and pull the sill in tight)  :D total cost £29 including enough box to do it again or make sliders :twisted:
