Yes i agree and wont be fitting any. They are the enemy to all Mk3's lol.

good move, lots of waxoil behind the sill covers will help as well.

Fair play mate, Looking at your drivers sill now makes me feel abit better about mine lol, What other areas of rust have you got to attack?

Not far to go in terms of welding. Just got the other rear wheel arch to do along with some of the floor drain plug grommets which have begun to rust due to water in the footwells. Not too bad but will do them anyway.

Todays progress, got the sill and wheel arch on and have used fibreglass on the seems. Got it all ready for filler on but noticed I didn't have any left as i had used it all on my dads Spitfire so will pick some up tommorow. It terms of fitting the rear arch all I did was cut out all the rust then cut the repair panel to suit. Used a joggler to create a step for the new panel to sit in and spotwelded it all the way!! Its worked out well and shouldn't be noticable when its painted. Also doors were off and on many times to make sure all the lines are correct.

Wee update, managed to get a couple of hours on the Golf today and got the offside sill and arch finish. Spent alot of time getting it right so it would be very difficult to tell its had the work done. Just brushed on some rust proof primer as protection just now. Think it came out pretty good for someone who has never done this level of bodywork before. What do you think?
