Default Mk4 escort sill replacement? Advice

All,
Looking at replacing the outer sill on my mk4 cabby project,
I've a full outer sill from hadrians and wondering if anyone has any pics of where and how they cut theirs when replacing?
Most of it is ok except the rear section, but thinking of replacing it all
Thanks
Rich

never cut out more than you need to just cut the rot back to sound metal and weld in the piece that you need

As above but check the inner sill as a lot of times they're usually rotted aswell.

Botters, Gav, thanks!
The inners are fine and only a little patch needed on the extra gurders as is a cabby,
Its an investment but everyone seems to say only replace what you need to.
I'm hoping to start tomorrow now I have some gas, so will get some pics up,
I have the fuel tank covered in jenolite at the no and will be sticking some Hammerite on tomorrow.

Looking for some std RS turbo Pistons too
