sills?

[Sturge]

my car failed the mot on N/S/R sills so i started to poke the rust in and soon discovered lots of rot took out my inner and outer sills as well as my wheels arch.

tried mill autos to buy repair panels but they dont even list the 200sx
anyone know where i can get affordable inner and outer sill repair panels (not nissan) lol i assume this is a common problem and that it would readily be available?

As I understand Fiesta ones work a treat, but not sure which model of Fiesta...

I've just had all new sills & rear arches custom made to standard dimensions, chassis legs strengthened and bootlid/rear wiper/aerial all plated. He even undersealed the new sills and put some filler on the arches and bootlid.

And i must say his work is top quality. Apart from a slight warp in the bootlid, easily fixed with the tiniest skim of filler.

All in....... £385

Fancy the fuel money to south yorkshire?

PM me for the number if you're interested.

that seems good value! this is what the car is like after i been there with a screwdriver:


very upsetting lol

[Sturge]

otherwise the car is mint

i'd probably be willing to bet that if the sills are like that then there are some other bits you havent found yet. try having a good look at the chassis rails under the rear subframe for example.

We've all been there.

spoke to john at JDG panels yesterday and he seemed like a nice chap. sorted me out an outer sill for less money than nissan. hes gonna send me it down....watch this space to see how it fits

[Daz G]

Any news on panel fit mate?? Would be interested to know how you got on!

[Sturge]

i bought the panel and took it to a local bodyshop and the fitted it, dodnt say anything bad about it

[Daz G]

Thanks for reply Sturge. I know its a realitively old thread. Good old 'search button'.

[Dunkz]

might be worth this thread being stickied or the details of JDG panels being put somewhere to be found easily for the future.

edit: infact I'll go add it onto the usefull threads for further reference.
