rubble Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Sills!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's only been in the country a year (and garaged) so it's like new underneath and not rotten as a carrot with paper mache sills like uk models heh heh :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andyduff Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Its nothing to do with UK models with the sills unforts. Its caused by good old nissan using steel pipes on the targa drains inside the sills which rot through, causing water to be dumped inside. The sills therefore rot from the inside out....
