Picture needed of the front left hand side sill
I recently bought a project 1990 944 which had received substantial damage to the front of the left hand sill.
It looks like the car has been driven over a curb and the sill has been slammed from below ....crushing both the sill and lower front wing exploding it completely out of shape.
Has anyone got a photo of the front section of the sill under the lower wing to help me visualise what I need to do fabricate a replacement part.

great picture thanks for posting.
Unfortunately with the plastic trim fitted I cannot see the metalwork beneath ..
I hadn't realised that a late 944 2.5 model would have plastic trim like the S2 and Turbo ....Its missing on my car and was probably removed due to damage.
Tomorrow I'll detach the lower wing if I can and see what is behind it. The whole area is so badly distorted and rusty with holes its difficult to see what I need to fabricate. It doesn't help that the plastic wheel arch cover seems to have been rammed into the lower wing too.
How is the front lower wing attached to the bodywork ?
