Hi guys - I am currently repairing the door sill on the driver side of my mk1 uno, as it had a build up of rust and I decided that I ought to do something about it. Anyway, I took the rubber off from around the door, and have now sanded off the rust,removing all the loose bits. As a result I now have a hole in the sill - which is not a problem as I have rust treated the remaining bits of rust and will be filling the hole tomorrow. Job done!
Anyways, I noticed that when I looked inside the hole, I can see a kind of gunky brown stuff - I managed to confirm this when I put my finger through the big hole (the cut one that is!) that is behind the carpet on the inside of the door.
I was just wondering what this gunky stuff is - should it even be in there? I'm just a little concerned, cos at first I thought it was due to water making its way inside - which of course would lead to more rust and hence be quite disastrous!
So does anyone know what this gunk is, whether it should be there, and if it is ok to leave it in there? Am I right in thinking that it might just be like the underbody seal and so it is all ok?
Thanks for the help - I hope this post makes sense! Anyway, tomorrow I shall be able to fill the rust hole and hopefully all will be well within a few days!
Cheers,
Marko
