jezza Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 A friend of mine has an EP91 suffering from rust on the drivers side sill. He reckons the damage has gone beyond a repair patch so looking into outer sill replacement. Has anyone done this before and are there replacement sill panels available? Or do we have to find a donor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) You will have to find a donar...cut the section out that's rusted use that off cut to measure another sill, cut that and reweld the sill in Edited February 6, 2014 by Gainzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think someone before said something about a fiestas sills being very similar. Not sure what MK though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Check with your Toyota dealership........i got this pretty much off the shelf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 OK, cheers. I know of a glanza breaking locally so might have to let loose with a grinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Charlie had his old v repaired with fiesta sills from memory. He's got loads of pics of it if u ask him from memory it was pretty bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, I've text him already and he suggested Mk3 fiesta sills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blob212 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I know this is an old post but thought id post confirmation that Toyota have discontinued glanza sills and yes fiesta Mk 3 5door sills do work as a replacement with a little cutting and beating. I stumbled on this post a few months ago trying to find a solution to my rusty sills so hopefully this will help anybody in the same boat Few picks of my v before and after fitting the fiesta sills Edited October 20, 2016 by blob212 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ford KA sills also have a similar profile and are pretty easy/cheap to come by. they're a little longer than a starlet sill too which gives you a bit of room to play with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ford KA Sill held up against an EP80 Sill for anyone interested. Profile is nearly a perfect match to the P8 chassis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
