Lower Sill. Abortion of a repair

[Rev Jules]

Hi David Many thanks for putting these photos on the forum for me, was sick as a pig when I first saw them, plus the cost.

I need the drivers side sill on my silver one doing soon, and on the lookout for someone who would do a decent job. What was done to yours to put it right again looks encouraging. Hope it is well treated on the inside to make it a permanent job.

Hi David as far asI know they had to take the chrome strip off because the rust had progressed further up the chassis, you might be lucky and just have a hole to repair, the rust I had was over 15inches long, he then had too go back as far as he could to find decent metal, then fabricate a piece to fill in.

That's really shocking!

I'm dreading what mine's going to be like, it's a Cornish coast car, and I've spotting 'blowing body-filler' on the n/s sill

My Vanden Plas had is sill's and the 8" floor section re welded costing over 1k a couple of years ago, I thought it was because is was number 2 in construction at MacNeillie .



We originally have a problem with the sill's on the 6 doors which I took up with MacNeillie but it turns out this was due to the sea air down here in Bournemouth

At least it's fixed properly now make sure the inside has been treated to help prevent further corrosion.
Makes me glad I can weld so when ours needs done it doesn't cost an arm & a leg.
