Good work on the sills - I've been meaning to get myself a joddler/joggler/flange tool for a wee while now , seems to make it all a bit easier

wouldn't have thought so unless you're going to rally it.
mines running an xe with manta a axle, obviously using the original kadett mounts, and i've had no probs so far and i drive it hard. (often bottoming out the suspension on the country roads near me, haha).
good progress there mate.
it would'nt hurt i guess, to beef up with a bit of extra weld while you've got it on its side tho..
