My IS200 had a rusty rear outer sill which had a new bit of metal fabricated and welded on for the MOT last year. The welder told me that the chassis rail was rusting and that it'll probably be about 5 years until it's rusted all the way through. That sounds pretty bad, wouldn't you say? Anyway, I've looked at the rails from underneath the car and they seem ok. So this rail must only be rusting from the side, which is where I can't see because it was welded up there.
So now I'm trying to figure out what my options are and what this could end up costing. Can a chassis rail be safely repaired or does it need replacing? Any idea what it would cost to have that kind of work done?
Cheers ;)
