Difference between 2 Terrano-II's

[Koops]

Hi folks,
I'm still working my Terrano restoration project. Now I decided to replace half of the floor of my car, including the the back wheel cases, with this part cut out of a donor car. Having made a lot of preparations already I now discover that there is an important construction difference between my car's bottom and that from the donor car - the donor's car lacking a steel profile at both sides. The difference had not been visible before starting to cut in my own car - it is hidden within the car's sill. So strange that one Nissan Terrano II is equiped with this steel profile, whereas the other is not - I wonder how this is possible? Now I checked both car's VIN numbers to find out more about the difference, both cars are Terrano II 2.7 TDi's, short wheel base, 7 seats, but my car is version S, while donor car is version SE - would this explain the construction difference???

So on the white truck behind that pressed profile that's been welded on is the panel flat?

Yes, it is flat. It's that pressed profile that is completely absent on the red truck.

I have noticed on the cills that I have rebuilt on the LWB that the 3rd inner section does not go all the way to the front but terminates some place forward of the B pillar, Rick
