Rotten sills, subframe

Hi guys,

 

couple weeks ago I bought my first zed (03) with a stock engine, RB kit, tein coils

I've been told that the garage been kept in the garage by it's last owner.

I was well aware of the common rust problems (W brace kidney braeces. etc.) by the time I bought this car and they are in fairly good condition as have been replaced along with some parts of the exhaust system 3 years ago,

Didn't take picures but as I am heading towards the front the sills feel heavily corroded under the coating in some points as well.

 

Now I got hundreds of questions in my head...like what will this cost for me, what are my options, and where can I find a decent guy who can get this done for me properly?

 

Any recommendations and suggestions helps a lot and would be much appreciated.

I live in Spalding btw,

Would be benefical to find someone local but a few hours drive doesn't bother me if that matters.

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Marton

That's the million dollar question mate🤑.

 

I've been in touch with him before I took the braces off, he asked me to strip them but didn't dare to take the kidneys off as I am sure I wouldn't be able to put them back before got fixed so I thought it worth to disclose to the community to learn from my mistakes😉
