I need to fit New Sills and floors, Where do i start, has anyone got any pictures of one they have done?

Also the centre cross menber could do with replacing

do i need to support the car while doing this repair?

Replaced all the above on many VW but never done a Morris Minor.

Is it a 2-door saloon, traveller, or a 4 door saloon?

The 2-door is the easiest but you need to support the car carefully if you are doing sills and crossmember. Keep the doors on the car to check they still shut perfectly after you've tacked things in place - once you've welded it is too late! The engine and gearbox need to come out to take the weight off the chassis legs when removing the crossmember, and if possible, use the crossmember 1/3 section repair panels (rather than the complete crossmemeber) as it gives you the opportunity to keep most of the strength in the car during the repair.

If you are doing this on a 4-door saloon, then you are asking for trouble unless you don't mind doors that don't fit ( the 4 door is extremely prone to change shape as it has all the stability of a 'house of cards' with the floor and sills cut out).

As for floor / sills and crossmember on a traveller - I've got no idea as I've not yet done one. The wood is structural so needs to be there to keep things straight / aligned but I guess you also need to take it off to do the welding
