Hi Michael,

I always find how-to threads interesting so figured I'd post this one. Hopefully it'll encourage others to have a go and doccument their efforts.

There is no real loss of interior room as the sill is about the same thickness as the body of the door. When the door closes there is only about the thickness of the door trim in difference.

The body is still easily removable with just a couple of dozen bolts to undo. The CR has the tub and footwells all molded in one piece and bonded into the body. There is some steelwork inside the tub, the dash hoop, door lock pillar, bonnet and boot hinges etc. The tub is sandwiched to the chassis via bolts through the base of the dash hoop and door lock pillar. The dash hoop was removable before but it's all bonded into the tub now.

Cheers
