I received some more update pictures from the repairs of the DHC’s body shell. To be more specific the left hand sill.

Next job was preparing the replacement sill from the donor body shell, and trial fitting it to the car’s body.

Followed by some repairs to the inner sill and the, DHC specific, B-post strengthening panel inside the rear of the sill and trial fitting the replacement panel from the donor body:
