And after today's session:
OH, LOOK. Actual functional sheetmetal found in an MGB structure! The front inner sheetmetal is removed and it wasn't easy! Lots of spotwelds some of which are not accessible so I had to cut instead. But then I could verify that the right inner sill is usable though I'll need to weld some tabs back on here and there - the bottom of the A-pillar will need a little love, too.. That thing hanging at the bottom center is the jack tube but I can make a new one and make it stouter than OEM.
Tomorrow's job will be to dig out the rear section and get it out of the way. A couple of notes:
1) I'm either going to buy a lot of drill bits or improve my sharpening skills.
2) Don't undertake one of these without a rotisserie! Worth it's weight in gold.
