People, check your sills! Also, Waxoyl tips would be brill, if you've got the time...

So I had, what I thought, was a tiny bit of rust on my o/s/r wheel arch, right where it joins the plastic sill skirt. I saw this went under the skirt, so logically take it off, thinking 'quick job, sand, treat, paint.



How wrong I was...



To be fair, it's not as bad as others that people have posted on here, but the holes for the clips of the skirt have definitely started to rust out well... Needless to say I wasn't particularly happy...



So my message to you all: If you have a 400/45/ZS, PLEASE make sure you have a look under that plastic cover!



So anyway, it's sanding off the rust with a wire wheel drill bit for me, and fibreglassing over the holes it's made.



I've noticed that the inside of the sills are rusting as well (completely expected for a 1996 'bubble' 400 I know), but I want to at least slow it down. Got me some Waxoyl and a pump for it today. Does anyone have any tips on how to spray the inside of the sills etc? Where are the best access points to spray in? are any hidden under the inside carpet, or are they all on the outside and under the chrome footplates?



Any help is good help, (and it's all appreciated)!



Thank you!

Ben
