i have been given a mk1 fez back in the summer which had sat in a garage unused for 7 years. i have finally got round to buying a mig welder and am teaching myself to weld. i knew the o/s outer sill was going to need some attention but last weekend i removed the interior and carpet for a poke around and found some more tin worm where the floorpan meets the inner sill and one or two hole in the floor under the pedals.
i have a replacement outer sill skin to fit but need some advice on the inner sill. will cutting the rot out and butt welding a patch be acceptable especially as its close to the seatbelt anchoring point??
the holes in the floor by the pedals will be straight forward patching i guess.
some pics of what i am talking about...
i have seen section on here about replacing sills but any hints or tips appreciated.
