Default Rusty Sills.

I took my 850 off the road at the end of last summer as it had too much rot in the right hand sill below the rear door, and wasn't going to make it through an MOT like that.

Found myself a cheap P1 C70 to potter around in, which naturally triggered the rainy season to begin, and so I decided to leave the work on the 850 until spring.

I've had very little luck in finding either original sill panels, or any repair sections for this car, and my panel beating skills aren't up to anything much more complicated than a simple flat patch.

The only option I've found is an eBay seller from Poland that has a repair panel listed. The same supplier also has the part for sale on their own website, but neither have any decent photos to give me enough confidence to order one.

Does anyone know of any other options or suppliers, or am I destined to be the guinea pig on this one.
