Sill repair Completed! with pictures!

Hi All,
You know i bought a rusty Micra K11 2 months ago. We were looking for a Toyota Yaris, we drive like 150km to buy one but we were totally disappointed by the engine , so we rejected the deal. We were very upset and demoralized. We checked mobile.de with close range and saw our micra for sale just 8km away in next village. We said lets see it!
Due to couple of beers i was a little bit tipsy and just fall in love with car after driving it for 5 minutes. Never thought of sills can be that bad. After we bought the car we started to read about the car (i know it should have been reverse) and saw the sills issue. But it was too late. There was a hole in one side and i damaged the other side with wrong jacklift positioning (i know i know i m a stupid amateur f*ck).
We asked to a workshop and they prized 800€ For both side sill replacement. We both the car for 850!!
Thanks god we find a good contact who repaired the sills for 300€!
The micra is alive!!! Its alive!! (Frankestein)
Here are the before and after photos.
I will get back the car on Thursday hopefully!
Best Regards

Looks exactly like ours did three years back. And now looks perfect.

Hard work to do but with that work you got another 15 years solid motoring there Acoris. And honestly speaking 300 for that amount of work is actually quite good I'd say.

Make sure you spray a load of Dinitrol protections on it ... protect the hard work you already did.

But would also say, such work is only worth the investment if you in it for the long haul.

Nice work .... good to keep it on the road .... better to keep an old car going environmentally than buy a new one
