Buyers Guide - Inner Wings - Sills
| 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. A more in depth article can be found in the Bi-monthly Club Magazine - available when you join the Club. |

| Carefully
check the splash panels,
found under the front wings - check both the top and bottom. Replacement sections are available from specialist suppliers. |

| 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. |
