Rotten sill

Post by Sanj »

Hi all,

Had rear portion of sill on mk2 fabricated 3 years ago due to rot. Has rotted again and now thinking to replace whole drivers side sill. Any suggestions for suppliers please. Mr2-Ben have for £60, has anyone used and if so any good? Thanks

No way it should rot in 3 years unless it was botched.

When you get them done make sure to cover the inside of the sill in wax oil

When I think about it I’d left the guy to do it and when I got back I think he sprayed underseal over the repair without any paint first

There's templates for the MK2 sills in the Downloads section https://www.mr2oc.co.uk/download-cats/c ... lates.html
TBH £60 isn't bad for a full length sill
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
