Outer sills

I might be needing a new outer sill (o/s) one day. I'm certain it's been accident repaired before I had it and I think that it's rusted right at the front just behind the front wing (don't want to poke too hard!!).
Has anyone had a sill replaced? if so how much??
Regards
John B.

I had to get a hole patched in the sill of my XR2i. the hole was the size of a 50p and it cost £70 + VAT.
I bought my own MIG welder after that!

If it's not holed yet stop the rust now.
Sand it down & use a rust killer/prevention paint to slow it down.
Colour match it, you could even brush it on as the finish don't matter so much on a sill.
Then fill the inside of the sill with wax oil.
Might give you as much as another 5 years before it needs repairing.
