Question, do the 130 Estelle repair sills fit the 136 rapid??? Mine needs sills and rear arches I'm not finding an exact repair panel for a 136 ATM

If you look here it says that the Estelle sills are the same length but you need to add a bit of plate in at the base of the B post...

As I told you on Facebook Lee.....you can't get the Rapid ones anymore but they are basically the same car other than the roofline and door pillars. The sills are the same length and the arches are the same.....the Rapid is just a bit heavier, a bit less rigid but prettier. It's why I am restoring the rarest Rapid out there for the road and race an Estelle. The Rapid does have a nasty water trap at the rear of the sill which the Estelle doesn't which is why they generally need more welding there. You'll find the floors proablly crumble when you start replacing the sills too.....and check under the front wings for the P plates on the A pillar - if your wings are rotten they will likely be going too......and on a Rapid with big old doors they give a lot of support to the hinges.

Ive managed to track down some 136 inner. And outer sills

Inners are the same whatever the car....outers were available for Rapids many many years ago - if you've managed to track a pair down then that's good, but the Estelle ones are the same in every way apart from a section on the b pillar. Where did you find them?
