Hi guys I'm going to make some body work repairs and I'm wondering if anyone knows how thick the steel is and if it's different thicknesses on different panels

Thanks Ben

The main body panels are like tin foil, less than 1mm in most places. Some of the structural parts are a bit more

Iirc I used 1.2mm to do the repairs on my rear quarters, and this was ok to do some patching up in the floor pans as well.

Ok cool, I couldn't decide on 1mm or 1.5mm. My brother is going to make a small sill patch and patch up the floor where it used to have a roll cage bolted down

After Recently welding one up i would say about 0.0012 mm thick. Certainly wouldn't want to crash one!! On a serious nnote, as said between 1 and 1.5, sills may be closer to 2mm
