So i'm currently restoring a Beetle.
Finding replacement sills/kick panels is proving very difficult with 3 options available.
The first is make good whats left of the sill by welding in repair panels.
Second is remove the rusty bits and hide under fibre glass mouldings.
Third is cut off the sills completely.

What are the MOT rules regarding the above?

If a sill is rusty within a certain distance of chassis its a fail, am i correct?
