So I'm finally getting back to the tr2, and I'm having to replace the inner sills. I got the "A" post loose with a bit of messing around, and am now having trouble with "B" post. Ive gotten all the welded parts off as far as I can see, but it still seems to be welded. Is it welded behind of it inside all the structure?
So far I have the forward edge loose, the horizontal aft side cut out, now do I need to do the vertical aft side (is it welded) ?

Yes...

If you look in this pic, the rear of the "B" post has a vertical tab that is seam welded to the inner sill. The only way to reach it is to peal back the quarter panel as I did in the pic. I suppose you could grind off the inner sill from the inside to?!?

What way is that picture taken looking in our out ( from car)? I have to replace the lower bit of the quarter panels, so I guess that will be tomorrow attack.
Thanks for the picture I search for a bit but couldn't find much.

Tush's pics are better! With mine the wheel well is on the right. On the left is the B post. The bottom of the quarter panel is cut off (as is Tush's in his pics), and you are looking from the outside of the car inward.

It has been several years ago, but I was able to cut loose the sill from the inside. It was not easy but I did it. BUT--- when I went to attach the new Sill to the Bpost, we had to cut open the quarter panel to access the area to weld it on. We did a three sided cut to make a window. Once finished with the weld we pulled it back in place and welded it shut. In the end I would recommend opening up the quarter panel to start with.

Thanks for all the pictures that helps me out a lot. I'm not sure what my post is going to look like hopefully not as bad as yours tush, but I also have no floor, hole from the wheel well.
The "A" post is in reasonable shape and will be reused maybe I'll get lucky with the "B".
