Technical Inners sills query??

[S1lverback]

Alright folks!

Gotta (probably) stupid question to ask:

Just picked up a Mk2 Punto on the cheap with a good amount of MOT and tax and as far as I can tell it seems to be in preety good nick generally.

Now, the last MOT cert says on the advisories that it has "some corrosion on the inner sills". I've been outside on my back under the car trying to find this rust but so far with no luck.
Am I looking in the right place? I assumed that the inner sills would be under the car on the inside if ye get me?

If I can find the rust I'm relatively sure that I can sort it out as I've done more than my share of welding on the last car I had.

The other thing the MOT mentioned was the rear springs but rfom what I've read that seem like quite an easy fix...

Have a look inside the car under the carpet , rear foot wells most likely. This is the problem with English , now if you had a German mot there would be no doubt - the word for them would probably be the width of the page though.

One definition.

:yeahthat:

My punto recently failed on sills, turns out the majourity of the corrosion was on the rear floors.

Punto's, if left untreated do suffer badly from corroded rear floors. Sills follow soon after.

Get it sorted NOW

good stiff wire brush - clean any rot away - treat any rust with rust remody - paint and then seal it up
