They could have at least ground the rot out first! Your car has gone through 2 sills, real original Nova!!

[Bubba]

...dont look at my rear arches then lol

[swedge]

Everyone likes a bodge now and again as a temp fix but that's a bit of a joke

It's takes half an hour at the most to cut a sill out or in my case I pulled mine off lol

[JJL]

A common sight on mini's unfortunately

[marc69]

Yes mini sills are always done badly apart from the earliest ones (the ones with the floor the wrong way), the sills don't seem to rot....different shape and as far as I know they were filled with stuff and sealed.

[Mazz]

Thats not a bad bodge, now Ade's sill with a chunk of wood was a real bodge!

[Balley]

par for the course at most mot stations

Very true, unfortunately most customers on want a quick bodge so when I do sills at work its like the above! Luckly mine were done right :)
