I Guys, had a quick search but maybe someone can point me in the right direction for rear sill repair panels if there is any such thing?

 

My Z is still solid but sills where going a bit scabby, cut out the rot (still needs a bit more work) and was wondering what would normally be done??

 

Thanks

 

Steve

 

 

 

ZCenter have them seem to fit well.

Thanks, just looked on Lukes websight they look ok :)

Your going to have replace more than that I'm afraid if you wish to do a proper job. You can see from the photo rot has started on the inner sill too. Sadly I think your in for a bigger job than it may at first appear. You could patch it for a while till funds allow a proper repair but it would be a temporary repair ie a bodge. I've got a similar situation myself.

Just talk to allan mate,the job will be done right! :)

Ah yes.... the Master of all things metal :)

Body mech posted a thread of just such a repair sure someone can find it and post a link.

Hi Stephen... yes I know the near side is going to need a lot more cutting out, just went that far to expose/assess the damage. The near side aint too bad, just surface rust on the inner sill. TBH it hasn't got to look too pretty as the Z is stripped out and I use it for doing sprint. As its an NA it doesn't hold the value to warrant a big spend. I do want to prolong the life of the car cos even though its a LWB Auto its bags of fun going around Curborough Sprint Course.

 

Thanks for the reply Buddy :)

Ah that's ok, just didn't want you do go repairing the outside then wonder why 12-18 months later it's falling apart again,

Have a look at my repair thread.... I'll get guys number for you

 

He fabricates metal to fit what he's cut out
