Last time I checked on rimmerbros.com they didn't have the sills advertised, but might be worth giving them a call to double check.

Nice one Gav

And his car is louder and pops away everywhere he goes and the local Facebook squad always complain about him and I'm not wanting tge blame :D

Worrying times, but if it's just the sills then you should be ok. I'm not sure where the mgzs/Rover 400/45 owners get them from, think I've geard them mention Rimmer Brothers? Could be wrong. Might be worth signing up to https://www.mg-rover.org/forums/mg-zs-rover-45-400.102/MG and pop a question up see if they know. Be prepared for the usual ridicule though (why not buy a Rover cos they're better etc) although some of the members are ok. I was banned from it many many moons ago because I run the site for the Civic version of the car! They took umbridge when I pointed out the that the "Rover Aerodecks" of which there were originally 2, but now theres 3 (3rd which appeared years after rover went out of production so obviously a member redressed civic aerodeck!) that there were never any rover decks. It's a long story but rover never put them into production but a lot of members there swear blind they did, hence I got banned! lol Might sign back up as I'm sure moods and opinions have mellowed now both cars are into modern classic territory.

That doesn't sound good mate. I'd be inclined to give the whole car a good digging over just in case there's more rust elsewhere too. Simon (Dr Broon) had welding done to his aerodeck, and then when he took it to another garage, the catalog of horrors found meant it wasn't viable to get any more welding done, hence he decided to reshell the car with a rust free shell. Hopefully you won't find the same horrors and its just contained to the sills, but worth keeping the above in mind mate.

Not posted in a long time. Car had full head re build All welding to cills floor and undersealed. All dints scratches done To be continued

That some top work go in to your aerodeck it will live for another 20 years

Thanks Dave and yeah I'll be sure to get everything else checked over. From what I've seen throughout owning the car it's more or less pretty sound for rusting apart from the lower levels, sills and arches, jacking points etc. Usually places that don't look so bad. The control arms front and back are rusted but they've always been on the list to replace. I will definitely have to be sure there isn't much else lurking though otherwise it'll render this pointless and be in the same position in a year. Waiting on a call back from the welder so fingers crossed otherwise I wasn't sure if the MB would live much longer to be honest!

Thanks Dave, I've been looking but no luck so far, I'll be sure to tell the guy who's welding it though. Took the plastic trims off the sills again today and it's an absolute state under there, the main parts of the sill on both sides halfway down now have huge holes up to about a foot long. Don't think this will be a cheap job!
