Sorry ... you are right ... "rear sills" is the wrong term ... its rusted to
the rear of the sills, and rusted badly. I'm no welder but am willing to
try ... problem is the time more than anything (oh, and money too of
course). And unfortunately, the nearest "local MG parts place" is about 500
miles away.
