    Welding

    Recently been told that im unable to buy pre made sills anymore from the friendly forum superhero due to personal circumstances - hope everythings alright.

    Im not paying Nissan prices if they can supply them (havent asked but they want £270 to do a DPF regen on my mrs X trail and i know whats involved in that... and its not 270 quids worth!!!)

    Im sure ive read on here i can use either fiesta sills or something? Or K11 micra sills too? Contemplating making up my own though with thicker metal.

    Any idea what i should use? Im learning to weld at the same time as doing this so itll be a learning curve!

    Fantastic work (just check his Facebook) and now he is making S14 sills too very cheaply.
