I could have done it a lot worse than that

My T2 sills were rusting, only surface though, so i did them inblack , painted over the body colour. Looked crap.

Had the same issue myself, in exactly the same spot!

If you have not already done so...
You might want to consider removing the plastic door step, that should reveal 3 good size holes that you can pour/inject your favorite water repellent into the sill to slow down the dreaded tin worm....

AT THE RISK OF BEING SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES????

Are the sills in that spot within 300mm of a body mounting and as such are structural and a safety point? is that not why they fail MOT's for this bit of rust?

Don't want to scare anyone but I couldn't live with myself if I had not had mine plated and welded inner and outer and some one like family was hurt or worse because I hadn't paid out for welding.

A neat job though and sorry if I've caused upset.
