Replacing footwell and pillar - Which to do first?

Cut both but only one side at a time.. put the pillar in first .. clamps up ... check door aliginment... then tack weld...recheck door alignment seam weld... now fit the footwell.

Only replace the bits of footwell that need replacing. Usually you can cut below the clutch and brake pedal but often need to remove the accelerator bar.

Paddocks bits seemed fine on JLO. I used Landranger for the parts for Percy... both seemed the same re quality and fit.

check the door fits... nothing else matters :-) .. no seriously also check that the pillar is not too far out when welded to the bottom bracket as well. May be worth taking measurements for protruision before cutting off the old pillar, at least at the bottom. The top is pretty simple.

Thanks Lee, I did have a look at your site, some very good pictures on there. I'm starting to think it may be beyond my capabilities or will drag on forever (end result various LR bits strewn about the garden waiting for 'tomorrow'). With the rest of the vehicle in an 'unknown' condition (still have to do basic things like getting it to turn over), buy a big battery etc. I'm coming more round to getting shut (I have no time to spare).

Given the time and space (and cash!), I'd really like to rebuild on a new chassis etc. but it would have to be at a leisurely pace. Alternatively I could perhaps find somewhere else to keep it (parents want their driveway back soon - 9 years and counting!).

I nearly ordered a load of bits last week but decided against, thanks for the info anyway.
