Back to working on my 430 this weekend, after having a baby girl in feb, have not had much time to work on it but looking forward to having a play with it again. ;D

Sorry to hear that phill is selling his 430  :(

Car`s looking good mag,just make sure when lining the front end up to check that the wheels are in the centre of the arch`s and the bumper is level and not low on one side,it`s very easy to get caught out and have to start over again.

Got to do a few hours on the car on Sunday, thought i would post a few photos of my progress.

Cut both the front cill's back so when the side skirts go on you can't see them, plus it gives you more lock/clearance for the wheels.

Took about 30mm off of the outside cill and may be 10mm of the inside cill.

what i cut off the inner cill i flattened out, shaped and seam welded it back on.

On the outside cill's  i  cut both sides at the same time so that the left hand outer cill swapped over with the right hand one. This way you have the perfect fit and it sits back inside the cill. 

once the outer cill was welded back on i Then welded the outer one to the inner one. Even stronger than before  ;D

I then welded up the cills where i cut and knocked them in for the new 430 doors to open into 

O and of course painted it with that all important red oxide primer  ;D
