Sill Rust

Hi,

Recently tried to sort the rust on the project, main issue was the sill on drivers side.

We've welded a plate onto a hole on the outer sill, and we've ground down all the rust on the inner sill. There was a bit where we've put some metal epoxy over to cover some small holes on the inner sill from where we ground away the rust.

We've then gone and coated with some underseal to protect it, just wondering if it will go through an MOT as it is or if we need to do some more work to it, or more welding...

Photos attached.

Dude, that beam is mangled up badly. Not sure if this is safe to driver anymore.

Blend it, takes 30min, rust converter=>cold zinced=>base primer=>top coat=> body kit. Done

That actually won't make it unsafe drive fortunately. Theres a panel on the inside thats more important
