Buyers Guide - Inner Wings - Sills

Click below for specific information	A more in depth article can be found in the Bi-monthly Club Magazine - available when you join the Club.
A, B, C & D Posts	Inner wings can be checked via the engine bay and the boot. Use a screwdriver to prod any suspect areas. Whilst in the boot, check the area around the battery. It is recommended to use a torch for those difficult areas.
Body & Chrome
Inner Wings
Leather & Interiors	Carefully check the splash panels, found under the front wings - check both the top and bottom. Replacement sections are available from specialist suppliers.
Mechanicals
Sills
Window Scuttles	Sills (including the spacer and inner sill) especially near the jacking points. Do not be misled by the condition of the outer sill as it is a structural part of the car. The cost for replacement sills is low, but to fit them correctly will cost considerably more. Badly fitted sills can be easily spotted by the doors ‘sagging’ in the middle of the car and the sill should fit smoothly to the front wing.

	Replacement sections are available from specialist suppliers.
	Check the chassis legs especially around the rear spring hangars. Correct repairs should have had the old metal cut out. Beware of plated legs. Replacement sections are available from specialist suppliers.
