The wheel arch panels are just this metal sheet riveted in and rot away. Should be easy to remove and re make.
You'll find allot more familiar parts that the radiator most of the suspension and staying parts are triumph.

Cheers Mbell, this is where I will need to get first hand pictures and advice throughout as have no idea what is right and modified - probably like yourself lockdown is not helping getting out or car shows.....
A separate question on parts suppliers I guess but is there a xref table on parts that came from other manufacturers (like Triumph)?
Cheers
Paul

Without trying to sound patronizing, have you tried doing a search? there is actually quite allot of info about replacing sills on here.

If you put big pieces of wood under the sills to spread the load you can use it to lift the car. Once up, put something under the front wheel and lower. Repeat on other side
