The inner sill wraps behind the middle sill and to remove it, I had to drill out the spot welds from the cargo bay floor. This had been repaired previously and it was difficult to judge which welds held the sill and which didn't.
When drilling out these welds, it's important to double check you are removing those that hold the inner sill as there is a row that attach the door runner channel, and you do not want to remove that. As refitting the sliding door would be a nightmare.
When the inner sill went into place I used the holes created drilling out the original spot welds to weld the new sill into place, and clamped it up to the middle sill at the front to stop them splaying apart where they meet.
Below you can see the inner sill welded to the end of the middle sill, this L shape will show through into the wheel tub when the tub skin is back in place. The observant among you will notice that the base of the B pillar to the right hand side of this picture is conspicuous by it's absence. That's another one for the list.
