Part 25 of the R8 Rover 216 GTi 16v twincam restoration vlog.
I the previous video I had to modify the pattern-part outer sill after a seller sold me the wrong side. They're not interchangeable as most patternpart sills include frear arch flange and front 'tucked in' lip. I had to cut off both ends and turn it 180 degrees and then still had to hammer form a dropped line to match the original factory pressing. Ironically since doing all this, the Rover 200/400 Owners Club has commissioned a set of nearside and offside lower quarter panel and sill outers for the three door R8 Rover. Oh well. At least I don't have to go through this hassel for when I rebuild the passenger side of the car.
