    Great work as usual Kevin. Glad you sorted the issue with the inner cill being short. 😎

    Nice work but why didn`t you put the whole floor panel in? Would have been all new metal then.

    • @PocketRocketGarage
      @PocketRocketGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      I know what you mean but I am trying to keep as much of the original metal as possible and I couldn’t get under the car any further as I put the pallets underneath 😬

    Can I ask what make of floor panel you used please?Just about to attempt the same on my MPI.Some of the panel suppliers web site are a minefield.Mine is exactly the same as yours for rot.keep up the good work.

      They are magnum panels I believe I got them from m machine….. the only heritage panel I have used so far was rear valence, everything so far has just needed a lot of manipulating and a few bits added on etc but they are not as bad as I expected
      Thanks for watching

    Hi mate it’s looking great, I’ve just started on a 1996 SPI so following your project. What panel was your door step and quarter panel? I bought a magnum one and it’s an awful fit! Cheers, Matt

    • @PocketRocketGarage
      @PocketRocketGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      Magnum as well, I did cut it right down though as no need to cut so much fresh metal away on mine…. Still needed a lot of hammer and dolly work and a few good skims of filler and it should look good🤞🏼

      @@PocketRocketGarage that’s encouraging thanks! The worst part looks like the radius of the bends on mine, they’re not tight at all not sure if I can fix that, yours looks nice and tight.
