    Is this right or is something missing.
    This was done by the previous owner but it just doesn't look right to me.[​IMG][​IMG]

  2. Looks like it's missing part of the inner b pillar and the whole outer sill?

    Looks like they have changed the outer sill and it’s bent in, in the middle.
     
  4. Outer cill looks like it’s missing.

    What does the other end look like?

  8. I'm gonna guess the bottom of the inner b post is missing and the outer b post and rear of the front wheel arch are too low and possibly the sill is a little high at the front.

    All this also depends on what the gaps are like round the slider. But TBH the sill work does look a 'little' rough.

    I would say they have fitted the front arch and B pillar incorrectly, do you know what work it’s had ?

    It’s possible to move the B pillar and alter the lower Edge of the arch to make it correct

  14. As been said it’s wrong

    Birds will nest in there otherwise

  15. On a positive note, it looks like each panel is only tacked on so should come off easily :)

    What's the cab door gap like? It looks like the arch was fitted too low. I would also have a butcher's at how the inner sill sits on the end of the top hats.. does the sliding door sit flush with the sill all along when it's shut?
