I've only replaced parts of middle sill, part of A post, and full outer
sill. At that time, noted that the dog-leg at the bottom of the wing, in
front of the wheel, would get in the way of a replacing a full middle,
inner, and outer sill.
That being the case, suggested order would be:
-big number 1, brace the a- and b-posts so they can't move. I just welded
angle iron on the inside edges of both.
-remove dog leg of old rear wing, so you can get at the sills,
-remove and replace inner and middle sills
-remove and replace rear wing
-replace outer sill.
Hope that helps

Subject: [Spits] Order of panel replacement
Seeking the wisdom of the list:
My wife's Mk3 Spit needs the passeger side rear wing and sills (inner,
middle
and outer panels) replaced. Which is the best order to proceed? Remove and
replace the wing first, then do the sills or the other way around? Or does
it
matter as long as the alignment is all kept in spec?
