Anything is possible, depends how deep your pockets are. When you say rust holes...might help if you provide some more details - outer sill, inner sill, jacking point ?

It would be better to buy some complete sills and have them fitted Jim. My local garage that i take my beasts to for MoT si very good at that sort of thing and sympathetic to the "modern classic" as well as older classics. As such he does a good job and doesn't charge a fortune.
If you could find somewhere like that then to me it would be a no-brainer, get it done!

As far as i can see Volvo don't supply outer sill repair panels (rocker panels in USA speak as per this diagram) :

It appears from other research that the entire body side panel including the outer sill is one complete panel. However most places that do welding to MoT standard will either bend a plate to suit and let it in so it's near impossible to see or the cheaper ones will patch it.

I've restored a 360 and fitted new sills, every layer need repaired, but 2 940s I've worked on just needed patched. They are made from flat material mostly, but you can cut them from other cars too (this is not really feasible on the 360).

I repaired the rear inner arches (due to perished estate window rubber 95), the rear cubby holes (cut them from the spares car) and the box section for the fuel tank plastic guard (cut that from spares car).

Big problem with the 940 is the unseal is very liquidy. I'd recommend zinga to restore the galvanisation with 2 part epoxy mastic over that.
