Procrastinating never got anyone anywhere

SWMBO idea for the title.
Well it’s finally time to post my work and get on with the sliding door side on Greta. I’ve already done the opposite side and I’ll post those pictures/work once complete on this side for the sake of continuity.
So Greta failed MOT for a hole in the inner sill due to being within the limit of the trailing arm mount, what they missed was that the sill is basically now ‘pi$$ thin’. Most of it was removed with a knotted brush and a masonry chisel.
A previous bodge of filler
A poorly welded outer sill
A severely holed sliding door channel
Well after much cutting and grinding the floor is sandwiched between the door channel plate and the outer sill, well it was, mine is just dust. So contrary to advice I will have to cut out the the step/sliding channel cover so that I can add in a strip to repair the floor before replacing the sill.
a lot of rust
A lot of rust and muck in the sill
