If it's due to damage and rust, most good welding places will make a panel to fit and strenghen the jack points... but yes that seems fine (although it will need some tweaks to fit like all aftermarket panels!)

That is a complete replacement cill.
Whoever fits it can cut it to suit what needs doing.

Thanks for the replies. Is it a total ball ache to replace the whole sill? I'll weld it up myself but only tge jacking points are shagged so would it be such a bad idea to replace it with a suitable length of steel rather than the whole thing?

Better in the long run to replace the sill.
