Just got back from MOT on my 1988 1.9petrol camper and it failed on a small corroded section of the nearside sill.
I'm going to do the welding myself, but just wondered if anyone knows if there is a repair panel available anywhere for this section as it looks like it will be pretty hard to fabricate a section otherwise! its right in the corner near the front post and step for the sliding door. its shown where marked yellow in the photo.
thanks

Can't you just fill it with weld?

Where's your door seal?
you can get the door seal channel section (that's rusted)
... and the outer sill from alan schofield or just kampers..
personaly I would just patch it and cover with underseal

took the door seal off for the photo - it is there and in good nick!
ah right thanks i'll have a look for the door seal section.
i guess i could patch it/fill it in, but it would be god to do a repair that will last and not need doing again in another year.
