my poor UK TT!
The sxoc are having the same problems as uk zeds but worse as nearly all s13 200sxs are uk models most have rotten sills .A freind of mine is restoring a 91 uk s13 both sills are bad and some rust on floor .For years the sxoc club have been talking of getting panterns made for sill repair panels but nothing yet.Maybe the 300zx club should get some made up to stop so many cars being scapped due to rust.
