its a ph2 they are all like that. Ph1's last much better.

Your blue one will have holes liek that in it.

My black exem on an M on the passenger side has a nigh on 2 foot hole in the sill which i need to sort out.

aye the sills on GYP are like that, with the drivers side being almost non existant at the back near the arch, thats the reason why it can't be MOTed, the rot has gone from the arch and sill back to where the rear axle bolts on underneath!
