offside sill behind sink unit on rhd is rusted out It has been repaired in the past but now needs replacing. I have a panel and wondered if it is a difficult job. Obviously needs cutting out and spots weld drilling out. May get body shop to do it if is difficult but would like to save money.

get ready for a suprise when it's removed. the last one i saw rotted out had taken the inner sill and body pillar with it.
fingers crossed for you that it's just the sill

Yes that one is on the wiki but I only need to do the sill as the rest is OK. I think there must have been a leak from the sink as someone had stuck carpet to the wall and floor and that made matters worse. Its just that the body shop is doing the rust around the window above and only noticed the bubbled sill when getting a quote for removing the window etc. I have decided to do the sill now and get the paint done at the same time.
