    Would any one know where is the best place to pick up sill skins either online or in shops? Dunno if I put this post in the right place! Cheers

    NCT failure? Never used replacement sills, just cut out the rust and MIG in new metal. Buy a random bonnet or door from a breakers and cut out the required size. The metal should be pliable enough to bend it into shape.

    I used another set of sills and cut them up to suit, cleaned the inside beam well, treated it as best I could then welded them on and painted them with hammerite. Best way to sort the sills

    They're a basic enough shape so any thin flat steel should do the job
