  1. Hi does anyone know of any how to videos of cutting out and replacing the from tubs wings step and B pillar please. Not had to do this big a job before. In 2 minds as to pay someone to do it or tackle it myself.

    The job largely depends on just how rusty the surrounding panels are but it's not so hard if you take your time. It's worth spending however long it takes to adjust the cab door absolutely perfectly, then fit the arch to line up with the door.

  4. I noticed that it’s been bodged in the past as the door does line up with the arch. I’ll do that thank you
     
  5. Do you cut everything out then fit or do one panel at a time to help with alinement

    It depends how bad the rust is. You'll most definitely be replacing the whole arch. How bad is the tub as you may be able to just repair it?
    On ours I got away with repairing the passenger side tub but had to replace everything on the drivers side.

    For that side I chopped the whole lot out, repaired the B pillar then fitted the arch followed by the tub. Some progress pics here which will may help: https://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/a-restoration-for-iris.53455/page-37
