Hello
Post #1 then...

Starting with something which has been bugging me for a bit and possibly more for the RS / XR thread - recently after an MOT fail the repair garage welded some small patches over some holes in the centres of each sill (not the drain holes on the join with the floor) by cutting them out because they were 'corroded' (that is another story). I intend to restore the car over the next few years and want everything on it to be returned to original A1 and, the holes have to go back - the patches look like they have been done by a neanderthal in any case so there is work to do regardless to reinstate to something like show condition.

Having owned the car for a long time I thought all Mk3 sills had these holes but after searching about the web for a while find that all Mk3s I have seen so far do not and sill repair panels available also do not seem to have them either.

A friend in my car club has an almost identical car to mine, my car being on a 'Y' and his is on an 'A' - probably six months split them in build and his does not have these holes.

Can anyone help with this? What were these hole for - sunroof drain? Maybe post a picture of your car if at all possible?

Thanks,
Robert
