Linking the dash hoop and the lock pillar together will increase the side impact protection and stiffen the chassis. The RHS section will also be a good base to build a full door sill on with just a bit of foam and glass for shape.
Cheers.

Ummmmmm ....A little like this ?

OK - another idea Ive stolen off you
Sorry Mike, but you come up with all the good stuff
I couldnt fit a 2 x 4 in there though, I though the sill looked a bit to thick (and I think it was too tall but I could be wrong), so I just used a 3 x 1.5 RHS. I also filled in behind with that expanding foam and it feels nice and solid now. Still a lot of fibreglassing to go.
Mizzi reckons its going to put me over 1200kgs, but Im not planning to put in those woofers that make every compass in a 12 mile radius point towards HIS car!
