[Healeys] Replacing inner/outer sills

[Ghess4]

Herb, I replaced the inner and outer sills as well as floor panels on my BJ8.
Engine and transmission were left in place. Prior to the change I could not
open the doors if already closed when the car was on my two post lift due to
chassis flex.  All measurements were recorded and I expected a much improved
operation of the doors after the change.  That was not the case.  Even though
the frame looked good externally it was obviously compromised by rust
internally.  I listened to a lot of opinions about a fix and finally decided
to replace the frame.  The car now has no flex, the doors work perfectly and
the car drives like I think it should. I will be glad to talk with you either
here or off line.  Changing the frame is not a low cost proposition but it is
by far the best solution in my opinion if you experience problems caused by a
flexing frame.
