If you need to fabricate repair sections...it takes a lot more work.
But that strip of rut could be cut out, make a repair section to clean metal and seam weld it in.
Recently spotted this on the MIG welding forum.....he's definitely keen !

It seems panels/sills are still available, but not repair sections.
I have contacted the guy again, who says the repairs can be done in a day (with me having removed interior etc) and this week he done inner and outer sills on an Escort within the same.
I'm not knowing what to do, as my concern is, I could pay him for a days work and still not get the job done.
What would your advice be?
