Mine when I had it.

Passenger side sill, the driver side was fine.
The doors were also shot on the "clinched flange" but I replaced them.

This is (was as sold it now) a 1999 V reg. The pics are from last year so the car was 14 years old at the time.





















You can see the shitty pathetic attempts at factory rust proofing, a little tiny dribble of wax in some of the photos. I loved the car but just couldn't get my head round how it had rusted, I thought that Ford would have sorted out the rustproofing by the late 90's.

There must be loads of MK1's bobbing about with rotted sills invisible under the plastic sill covers.
