Tidy Cheers mate Finished welding the boot floor, nearly 100 spot welds so I'm glad I bought a spot welder. Did them a bit close where the bulkhead joins the floor but I would rather have too many than not enough 
Next I have got to seam seal inside the sills and then the floor will be ready to go in. |

Bad news! Trial fitted the floor tonight and it doesn't fit! Looks like its been crashed into at some point on the drivers side B pillar so its been pushed in towards the passenger side. You can see it with a straight edge from the rear arch to the A pillar...on the p/s the B pillar pushed the straight edge out so it can't touch the A pillar, but on the d/s the B pillar sits about half an inch off the straight edge. Not sure if that makes sense so took some pictures to show it...

Been working on getting the floor in for the past couple of weeks. Took longer than expected because of the damage to the B pillar but everything lines up now so tonight I put a few welds to hold it, will do all of the spot welding when its the right way up

Been working on the arch all week, just got it spot welded in tonight. More welding still to do where it meets the quarter then on to the other side. Some pictures...

This is how it should be done! Love the build quality. BTW, my cars RH side looked just like yours, had been in collision at some point of its life. Had to pull it out to get quarter panel to fit nicely to the door. Mine was not moved at the sill level, only had to pull it out at the center of B-pilar. Remember that these old cars have not been perfect when they left the factory line :) On 16th Jan, 2014 Carlzilla said:
Good stuff! Cheers. Yeah I pulled this back out so that it lined up with the sill, the measurements both sides are a little different now but not far off and a lot closer than before. I keep telling myself they were never perfect but still end up messing around for ages trying to get it spot on

I hate repairs like that where you have to replace everything, looks like you've doing a good job mind. Yeah it wasn't nice cutting it all out at once but didn't really have much choice. Did add some bracing first so nothing moved |
