With the car being lowered on apexi n1 coilovers the sill didnt clear the curb and took a fair amount of damage before the signpost hit the drivers door

Not a perfect match but close enough for now,
Next step getting the damaged door off and swapping all the componants out into the new door

Trickiest part for me on this was getting the window aligned and adjusted properly, its still catching slightly on the way up so may need to go back and have another look at this at some point.

With the door back on and looking good it was time to tackle the sill, anyone whos had sill repairs done will no the replacement parts you can get are crazy expensive and not very long, i looked at close matches from other cars but decided to just make one from scratch.

First i cut out all the damaged section and measured up for size, the box underneath looks pretty heavily damaged but its not as bad as it looks and is still solid so i left this as it is

I fabricated the new sill by folding a 80ish degree fold at the bottom by clamping it to some angle iron and tapping with a hammer then i clamped it to the sill the other side and used a deadblow hammer to mould the metal to the shape of the sill

Ran into abit of of a brickwall at thispoint as i needed the sill welding in, so i decided to change out the suspension
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The apexi coilovers where way to hard for road use and where probably a contributing factor to the crash in the first place so i bought some used lowish milage bilstein blacks cleaned them up new lower springs and dust boots
