Its all good having stainless steel sills, but when you have two unlike metals in contact with each other, corrosion happens more rapidly. So your mild steel 1/4s will rot and your stainless sills and the isopon will still be there!!
Your best off getting that thing to a shell, then bare metal and then get it zinc dipped
