Terminal? Nonsense!
After what you've acheived on that car to date, a mere bagatellle for you my dear chap!
Interesting bit about needing to keep the battery connected!
Now a question or two if I may.
Firstly, were you aware of the patches on the sill before you started cutting into it? I must say, I thought that practise (patching of sills and the like) had disappeared along with the 1980's!
Secondly, I really like the music you use, in all the videos. Where do you get your ideas from?
Another cracking instalment, please keep up the good work.
Oh, there was another thing, A Jaguar space saver?

lol it’s 100% clickbait - I’ve already fixed the inner sill
not completely done yet though, hence the ending, I’ve got a fair bit more to go before the shell is in a decent place but I’m getting there.
I was aware of one or two patches, it is a ford after all but I thought theyd been done properly or at least to a decent standard and not cowboyd like they have been. The sills are 100% worse than I was expecting And you’ll see next episode the extent of how bad they were.
The music is from bensound.com and I just pick the free ones that don’t sound like turd lol. Even then I rarely get compliments on the music, people normally complain lol. All you have to do is reference them in the description.
Jag space saver?

Yeah, the bright orange wheel you were using I think to pressurise the fuel tank in the last episode. Exactly the same as the one in my Jag.

Also something I do when finding half, once I have it where I think it should be I measure from the opposite side to make sure it is the same value, it wouldn't be the first time I would have been 5 or 10mm out if I had just gone with the head calculations
Most definitely, especially when finding the halfway point on something, say, 27 1/2” long.
No matter how often I think I‘ve got it right in my head....that double check almost always show me otherwise.

Very appropriate for a MIG Welding Forum!!!
I can't recall from earlier episodes but does that car have a sunroof? I seem to recall there being some sort of drain tube set up that drains into the inside of the sill sections. That might explain some of the corrosion?
Looking forward to the next one!

no sunroof on this one, just good old fashion ford recycled Russian white goods metal that wasn’t protected from the factory lol.
state on the jacking points it’s no surprise the seams separated and let a load of water in tbh.
Either way - it’s done now lol
