I'm interested to see inside your sill as when I got the OS sill cover off on my car I found this: They are pretty rust resistant but give up eventually - though the rest of the sills is perfect. When I tapped it some stuff fell out and there is a gap immediately behind the jacking point. I made that hole you can just see to have a look and it seems the inner sill needs some work. Hoping it is not going to be major to fix. Clearly a result of impact damage or incorrect jacking - there was a lot of mud in there which I cleaned out. How easy is that thin metal to weld? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Is it something most garages can handle or would it be better to find a specialist? And will the car bow in the middle when you cut part of the sill out?

Some garages will do it, how good the quality is will be unknown though, half the time they just slap a patch over glued on with pidgeon s**t and think it's fine....Take it to a welder rather than a garage would be my recommendation, but it's not a short job to do it properly if it's gone on the inner sill too like mine. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Finally got back to sound steel....(well, apart from the dark bit on the middle sill, but that's just been cut out in a straight line about 2 inches further up)   Yes, that is the edge of the carpet you can see just through the plates on the left.... I will say I was surprised how much is just butted together with seam sealer and left to the spot welds on the sill. It's not going back together like that, stick everything to everything with some stitch welding incoming... Stonechip/seal sealer is over 10mm thick in some places too, think of all the weight I've saved! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Interesting to see the inside of it exposed. Are you buying repair panels or making your own? I got a new OE middle sill for £10 on ebay. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Making them, I couldn't find any panels, and it probably would have cost me a fortune anyway, there's 7 panels cut into there...________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Sorted, bar the dent on the end of the weld where I knocked it whilst packing the welder away   Bit of grinding to flat the last couple of welds and straighten up a few hammer marks from making the panel, and she's back in business. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Dunno if its me imagining it, but it seems the ZX B-pillar is further back by about 3 inches or so, its pretty much right in front of the jacking point, which is where it needs new metal might be an idea to stick a cage inside so I can remove the B-pillar to fix the sill?!  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I had to chop some of the b-pillar reinforcement out and put new back in too. Then I took it down to the bottom of the sill to stiffen it even more ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
