Hi Guys,
I am doing some more repair work to the sills of my MK4 Fiesta and I am unsure how best to repair the following section. Please note that i do not want to replace the whole sill unless absolutely necessary, the rest of it is in good condition.
It's the rear of the sill as it meets the arch, the biggest problem is that the inner sill is rusted through as highlighted in the pic (this was the MOT failure). I have already cut away part of the outer and middle sills to get access to the inner.
From what i understand this is a diagram of how the sills are put together.
On to my question... basically for it to pass the MOT can I patch the area on the outside of the inner sill (pic A below) and remove all rusted metal of the inner sill then replace the middle and outer sill to join to that
OR
Do I need to cut it back and replace a bigger section of the inner sill (pic B below) then replace the middle and outer sills to join to it?
OR something else which I've not thought of that's not replacing the whole sill?
Any Help greatly appreciated.
