The car seems to be in overall good condition but there is some rust. The bottom of the doors and in where the famous foam is/was. There are no signs of rust on the outer sills, question is should I keep looking around and if so where? You might find that the inner sill has some rot and needs work. I've just done both sides of mine. Take the boot carpet and insulation out to have a look see. Have a good look to see if there's anything starting around the windscreen, A pillars, etc, and T-tops if you've got them. There will be lots of other places underneath that you'll want to have a good look at and maybe do some preventative work if there's been any scuffs to the undercoat but generally the floor pan in SW20s is fairly well protected and not a big problem area - unless by this point they really are getting that bad. I have the foam out and have some rust in there. The outer sills are perfect and everywhere else seems aok. I cant post pics as I'm a new user. Did you cut out the outer sill to get to the innerMorphman wrote:Cheers JD.
I got some replacement panels off ebay (I forget which seller, but they sell the outer sills and the inner end bits in the wheel arch), then I made up repair sections for where there were some crispy scabs on the inner sill.
