Side sills and steps.
I got new sill rails for the 110 200 tdi and four new steps. Prior to fitting I undercoated and painted the sill rails (with a brush). Considering the existing rails are in situ since 1992 the painting is probably superfluous also the new one's are thicker than the origionals. The steps have been on it since 1996. So taking into account Greta and her crusade, The Green Party who are in government here, the pushing towards buying an EV, painting the rails is probably not necessary!. Then there is the age thing of course. The new rails will out last my ability to get into the 110...even with the new steps

Agree they need some protection.
I went one better when I did my 90 and had them hot dipped. Thumbs Up

Like above I get them galvanised, I have none in stock at the moment, but I’m getting a batch of parts done next week.
