On the last picture you can also see replaced rocker (threshold).
You won't believe, but the rockers have been taken from another car (Attention! Russian car - Volga (new one, of course).
The reason is that there is no fresh Expies of that age, so we had to do this.

Good stuff.
Taking metal from other cars (and appliances like washing machines!) is an old past time I am familiar with. My old SJ413 was more General Electric than Suzuki when I sold it.
