New sill now?

[KennyW]

Hi All,

Here are some pics of my outer sill cleaned up ready for prep work for welding.





The inner sill is a little rusted but will clean up nicely.

I can't say I've ever seen a single Xantia corrode in any spot other than
the rear estate door jamb although x2 Activae has rust blisters on exactly
the same spot of their offside rear wing lip.

I feel ashamed to think I scrapped a bodily perfect '93 sinker VSX TD
- it didn't have a smidge of rust on the entire bodyshell. It had loads
of unwelcome vandal damage to every panel but no rust. That didn't
scrap it though, the engine/pump gave up.

When MIG'ing the shell remember to disconnect the ECU's and alternator.

Xm's can rot quite comprehensively mind, even when galvanised.

refering to KannyW's picys i always remove the outter skin of the bottom lip back to one layer of metal, other wise when/if welding to multiple layers of metal with rust in between, it will not weld very easy,
