Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this situation for me.

I have a 1200 ute that is in overall pretty good condition apart from the sills. They are quite rusty to the point where it would not pass a roadworthy, and apparently, this is quite common. Can these be repaired properly to be undetectable?

I was thinking of getting some sheet metal strips bent up to be welded in. I think this would be the way to go.

Can anyone advise on the best thing to do here?

Thanks for your time.

can buy brand newies from nispares in bayswater, melbourne for bout $65 each

Cool, so if done properly they should be fine, right?

Whats the chance the sills on a ute are nearly the same as sills on a coupe ?

slim to some

when i asked for sills at nispares i asked for coupe ones, but they seem to have more ute gear than coupe so i pressume they got ute ones

The ute sills are the same as coupe sills only shorter. You simply cut the new ute sill in half and add a piece of old sill in the middle to the required length. It worked on my coupe!!
