Sill repair panels
Are repair sections available for the sills or is it a fabrication job?

It's a fabrication job Alex, unless you want to buy a third of the side of the car! :o
I've just had my NSR repaired which included making a new support bracket. It's an expensive job, but as it's just about the only bodywork weakness on the car it's worth it in my view. Simon |
The easiest way is to cut a good piece of sill from a donor car.

Haha wonder of anyone has a good one they will let me chop out :D
Most of the rust is out now, front jacking points seem ok so just the back ones, and inner and outer sills to do ... going to be a long weekend then ! A uprising what the underseal hid, looked perect other than a tiny rust stain and now I'm missing abut a foot of sill either side |
Alex; here is what remained of my NS lift support bracket:

The chickens have come home to roost on that job :eek:

Impressive repair that,
My jacking points are OK thankfully, (since the cars been jacked up on the for a few weeks while I did other things!). But my sills were worse than those Rear ones have been repairer today, need a but of tidying up and painting but they are solid again ... I'll see if I can upload any pics Front ones to do tomorrow :) |
There are still plenty of good sills left on scrap cars, it's hit and miss though as you can't say later cars will be ok and early Ines rusty, I have seen good and bad in both mk1 & mk2
