Range Rover Blues:
Cogs, I've started doing my Wedathon now.  The sills are easy, -ish.  I bought new inner sills complete and the outer sill repairs from Paddocks, I think they have these bent up locally.
The outers only have the 'floor' section around the front door and have a cutout for the B post also, which is odd because they need to slide in behind the post, not over the outside face.
Anyway I'd suggest that unless the floor is very bad that you cut along the line of spot welds that holds the inner sill to the floor for the length of both doors.  Drill out the spot welds holding the seat belt mount to the floor. If rust hasn't taken care of the ends of the sill you need to cut them off somehow.  Unbolt the body mounts.
I was then able to stand on the sill and force it downwards 'till it fell off.

Start with the new inner sill.  Bolt the mounts into place to hold it firm then seam weld the old floor to the edge of the inner sill lip where it would normally be spot welded to the floor.

Make up the front and back of the sill before fitting the outer.

I'm going to suggest you cut the top 'floor' section off the outer sill panel before fitting it, it's too wide anyway so there's plenty left.  Fit the outer sill and weld through the bottom flange to spot weld it, drill pilot holes if you need to.  Now you can paint inside the sills.

Finaly take the bit of the panel you cut off and bend the edge to form a lip for the door rubber, the repair panels don't have this, and weld it onto the outer sill to finish.

I'm doing it this way to limit the amount of welding I do underneath and also so that I can try to rustproof the inside of the sills, at least the bottom edge where the muck settles will be painted.  I'm going to drill from outside to waxoil the sill once it's been MOT'ed and body chutz (the waxoil one) the underneath after having it steam cleaned locally.


BTW the panels cost

Inner sill £30
Outer sill repair £17
Footwell £20

All plus VAT

And you will need a square metre of 1mm steel for the ends of the sill plus any rot in the fear floor.

RRC, excellent, thanks.  Will let you know what I have done to mine when the job is finished (& started).  At the moment I am renewing brake pipes that I found to be very dodgy when I was looking as sill rot.  Done the long one no probs & then spotted the one that goes up from the same front union is dodgy- todays job, also the rubber hose under the top-up tank has for some reason just started to leak (the low pressure one). Just normal old car probs.!!!
The sills will have to wait till end of Sept. now, hols. In York & Knaresborough for 2.5 weeks coming up.--Cheers--Tony
