ZX sills????? - Ricky volcane - 10-10-2015
Does anyone know where I could get replacement sills for my 3 door zx? There discontinued from the manufacturer so would settle for non gen replacements.
Cheers in advance

might be worth getting yours patched up, as I had a right nightmare trying to get panels for my car, the company who used to make after market panels hadrain panels went bust, The company that bought them out (carbodypanels4u) say the have they have panels in stock online , but they don't, I had to chase them up as well as some else on another car forum I am a member of, to get a refund.

There were never 3 door replacements available afaik, only 5 door were an option. eitehr way best making them up from sheet metal or cutting good replacements from a donor car
RE: ZX sills????? - Ricky volcane - 10-10-2015
I may fab some up myself then so, as mines are past patching lol,
RE: ZX sills????? - HDi--Power - 10-10-2015
They are very hard to shape, compound curves everywhere, best to cut out a non rotten set and weld them in

zx isnt too nad to do, a lot simpler shape, main issue is the rot on the inner layered panels.
RE: ZX sills????? - Ricky volcane - 10-10-2015
I'm a body man so il make a attempt at it anyway lol, will have to wait to next year tho as there is other projects in the shed which need attention first

that's what the Cortina lads do, rick, just draft something up. One restore thread I read, the lad spent hours and hours tapping away to replicate an oem panel, for the boot floor. looked a work of art by the time he was finished!

Could try "A" panels on South Street in Glasgow!?! Worth a google!
No similar sills on other models that you can tweak? Ax 309 bx?

This, compound curves on 306 sill makes it a bastard, I made mine and it was perfect but by f*ck it made me swear, I wouldn't do another for less than a couple of hundred if it was as bad.
However, you'll find you put 4x as much work into the inner layered panels and reinforcements than the outer.

Ever rally it?
If mk3 golf is close you could check the spec on mk1-2 scirocco sills?
RE: ZX sills????? - Ricky volcane - 11-10-2015
Yeah man it's a cool old ford, if it was in respectable condition itd be worth that mate yeah.
Priceless to me sort of.
Sadly some man has removed the original lotus twin can engine, but there's a fully built pinto in it on some nice 40's . I'm 24 so most of my mates just don't get it lol!!
Il look into that mate as from the pics the mk3 sills don't look bad atall
