UPDATE!

I bit the bullet and replaced both sills and both front quarter floorpans. Im almost definate that the water is getting through there somehow and to be honest i should have done it while doing the rest of the work but convinced myself it didnt need doing.

Sooooo glad that i did. turned out that it had the dreaded oversills on it but it was impossible to tell until they were removed because they were patched so many times and were covered in stonechip. On top of that the drivers floor pan had 4, yes thats right...4 LAYERS OF METAL from years of patching and bodgeing. The floorpan also included a boat load of filler and expandable foam!!!

In short, someone in the past went to great lengths and a lot of effort to cover bad work. It begs the question if they spent as much time doing the job right rather than bodgeing i would have never needed to do this!!

Anyway rant over ....... heres some pics of it finished. Bodywork needs a good clean but you can see a bit of whats done.

I also replaced the rubber seal just above the sill which goes inbetween the wheel arches for a plastic one, sprayed to match the bodywork. What you think?

Gone over the floor with hammerite aswell.

Plan on refitting the interior early next week, then its a wash and polish for singleton show
