Has anyone on this board replaced the outer sills on their RRC? Mine have rotted so badly that the B pillar is cracking on the drivers's side. The floors seem to be solid up front with only a bit of rot in the rear around the wheel wells. Mechanically, she's as fit as can be with just a bit over 100k miles on her. So I want to do whatever I can to save her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget the floors...they will certainly need attention.

Hi RJ,
Yes, that's me in the '85 Range Rover. It's running better than ever. Jen and I just got back from almost a month (and 3100 miles) in the Canadian Maritimes with Big Daisy and she performed beautifully. I'll email you over the weekend when I have more time, meanwhile, it was great to hear from you.
Cheers,
Paul
