I imagine it would be a good idea to take the sill members out with no engine in the car, or at least make sure it’s supported at both ends under the floor and under the engine so there is no weight from the engine pulling the front down. Otherwise you might end up with a Banana.

Not sure if it has gone back in yet. I would expect Andy or Eddie will be on here soon with more information, but expect one of them at Stoneleigh.

I want to keep Q for next 20 - 30 years if I can, but its already badly rusted in A pillar and has hollow sound on passenger sill where metal has dissolved : - So about to get handy with an angle grinder and remove what I think is the fibreglass holding in the inner sill and A pillar to see the extent of corrosion. I feel confident I can do it , or get help doing it - but would firstly like to know if anyone has advice about this major surgery and what metalwork would need prefabricating to return the structural integrity, any pitfalls? I noticed a link for the proboards forum , but alas my 3 applications are all still pending approval. I can attend Stoneleigh to discuss - but unfortunately not in Q until its structurally right again..
