when you say the inner sills, what do you mean?

on the estate both sills had gone to the extent that there was nothing holding the floorpan to the sills
it took me a month of welding and cutting and grinding to sort that out, and seeing as it was the inner sill, the outer sill and the bit in the middle of the sill as well as the floorpan joint, there was a hell of a lot of ,etalwork needed (wchih is why my leccy bill was Ł600 that quater )

get braided hose for the pipes and do them all in one go

as for the abs thing, sensors are almost always the cause of them

it's a long drive but i have never been let down by http://www.thinkauto.com/

but you really need to go there, with measurements of what you want (make sure you've got the right sizes of the fittings and angles and stuf too) and they make thm up on the spot

go with a few quid mind as they do charge, but i got an 9 foot long 1/8 fitting oil pipe with ends on and everything for Ł11
just rememebr to tell them what sort of pipe you are after, and they don't recommend braided lines for road use, like everyone else for some reason
