You can get a pair of NON GENUINE sills for about £30 a pair.Get a MOBILE WELDER to your house for about £30 an hour.Should take a couple of hours = about£100 all in.This would be the cheapest option.
As for stripping the shell and shot blasting,wouldn,t reccomend this if your doing it all on your drive.You really need a unit to carry out this sort of restoration.I,d just strip the major parts off BUMPERS,SEATS,BODYKIT E.C.T and find all rust and cut out and replace,If your on a budget.If youv,e got plenty of MONEY then i,d replace every ROTTEN PANEL...I;E NEW WINGS,NEW QTRS E,C.T.
i ment get it shot blasted at a garage up the road which is reasonably priced im not doing it on drive i just had it on my drive when iwas doin the work yesterday, got most of the rear arch off and looked solid, from what i could see the only rotten bit was at the bottom which a new seal would replace lol, what do you thinkof the shot blasting now?
