    Ahh ditto mate, well theres fair few panel companies around, would sections of sill from a 5 or 19 be any good? depends if replace areas gone or the whole outter sills are gone - however believe 5 sills are starting to get bit thin on the ground

    I couldnt get 9 or 11 sills ten years ago so you will probably have to repair or use sills for another car.

    Super R5 sills fit if your only using sections. The 9 / 11 has a funny swage toward the back so you cant use an entire R5 sill unless you do some nifty cutting and re-aligning. They're also shorter of course so you have to hope that the front corner of the existing sill is good, or use 2x R5 sills per side. We went through all this with Haz's R11 years ago and there was no sills to be had anywhere back then.

    It's only the first foot or so of the front of both sills that are gone, same as a 5, the crap gets caught behind the wing and rots out the bottom of the wing and sill
