Re: sills,
its not too bad, ive seen worse, 
its been sat in the yard a year or so, so the sills have rotted abit,
ithink its been caused by idiots jacking it up on the sills in the past,
got the car for nowt, as the back end was stoved in,
just going to get an mot on it and use it for a short while, wont be selling it on,
it will end up used for grass tracking when ive finished with it,

Re: sills,
Talking mot's my mate who is a mad biker and a bike mot tester had an argument last year with a collegue when we were on holidays, they both agreed that what they cant see they cant fail.
BUT.
Bike exhausts is were the argument went up a gear, my mate had put a big noisy exhaust on his bike but the other tester wernt sure if it was legal, the argument comes down to this. If your unsure if it's any louder than when factory fitted how can you tell? you cant exactly have an identical bike in the testing station to compair it to so you have to pass it.
Job done, he's now bought a Harley and bolted on a beast of an exhaust you should hear that thing.
