The SD1, a much maligned car, has ventilated sills. It's wheelarches, door skins, bonnet, tailgate and rear panel rot but the sills don't. Simon

Most 75's and ZT's now have ventilated sills

Problem with filling sills with expanding foam is that if some unsuspecting soul tries welding or cutting the sill a very destructive fire could result.
Some of the foams are made of similar compounds to the foam that backed the tiles on Grenfell tower |

Spotted the O/S/R of my ZTT is a little crispy around the jacking point area, further inspection pending.
After the whole new rear end this year, it won't be the end though!

Another offside rear

PS. The first 4 pics above were taken using a mirror lying on the ground - hence they're a bit soft, and might be back to front!
