Mike Satur due to demand for a sill repair section this panel is designed to make the home DIY restorer repair the rust damaged area to this rear corner.
Cars that have this correctly made panel fitted will maintain their value and if correctly fitted and treated will last indefinitely. Using patches of steel and lots of filler is not a permanant fix. See last photos!! Yes someone paid a 'professional' for this !!
This part will save your car from the scrap yard and provides an easy solution to this problem of corrosion that blights so many UK cars.
The panel is made in Zintec steel for corrosion protection and can be additionally protected after installation by using a proprietary wax protector. The panel comes pre-drilled in the bottom flange to ensure the correct number of welds are re-instated and also at the end of the panel so it can be welded to the return closing panel which is also supplied in the kit.
Length of the panel is 400mm.
NOTE left hand is left as viewed from the rear and rh is viewed from the rear . They are not sold as drivers/ passengers because there are other countries where the orientation is different..so order a left or right panel which is the same for all countries.
See also the lower sill repair section 1200 long !!
These parts will save you or your body shop lots of time and save you money! Beware of trying to patch up a sill like the last photos..it will just need doing again..that's probably one of the worst welding and patching jobs I've ever seen and it's not safe!! Don't turn your car into a T F rankenstein monster!! ;-)
These are the only repair panels specifically made for your TF specify these to your body shop.
NB These have to be welded in place. Please follow the correct welding procedures when using zinc coated panels.
Please follow recommendations when welding zinc coat

Mike just a quick note about the TF replacement sills, I went and saw my paint guy yesterday and he was dead impressed with the replacement sills, they fitted perfectly and saved him loads of time in fabrication! Thanks!! Mark C
