Hi there, I am after some advice on what order to replace the first lot of panels on my SA 1600 Sport.
These are all in the o/s door pillar area.


I have got a new door hinge panel, inner door jamb, splash panel, flitch panel, drivers front floor......and seat crossmember. The floorwell will also need attention in the area where the bulkhead/floorpan/splash panel meet, as it has been poorly repaired in the past.


I'd also like some advice on if/where i should place some 1" box section to keep the shell straight whilst removing panels.


I've got the engine and gearbox removed, struts etc removed, and everything under the dash. The car is currently sitting on axle stands, 2 on the axle itself, and 2 under the crossmember. The windscreen is still fitted also.


Also, I do not have any door check straps at the moment, do these need to be fitted to the inner jamb panel before it is welded in place? Or is there enough room to slip them in afterwards?


Thanks very much,
Tom
