There has been a discussion recently on the facebook group about corrosion of the metal sill structures on the cars & I used a endoscope to examine the inside of my saloon sills metalwork. I've tried posting to the google groups a few times & it didn't work so have created a new email & hopefully this will work this time. The examination took place through the seat belt mounting hole and the hole where the seat belt lower bar goes into the sill. A good examination of the inside can be done via both holes once the seatbelt bolt and lower bar is removed [image: os.JPG][image: weld1.JPG] Luckily it looks like it was possibly galvanized by the factory & is in good condition. The A pillar supports also have very little corrosion but it does seem to be a bit of a lottery as to if they are rusty or not. But it does look like there is evidence of a weld being done on the metalwork before it was fitted into the car. Weld seems to be in same place on both sides of the car.
