If you have to replace the sills as well it may be easier, and a better looking
repair to replace the A-post, I think you can get these from John Hills in
Redditch, I think Jonathon Miles replaces his, is my memory working right
Jonathon???
Besides, the A-post is only spot welded on, should be too difficult.
