Hello everyone. I've had a leak in the drivers footwell which hasn't been too bad until lately. I thought it was only a problem with the door not sealing against the seal properly. Unfortunately as I've just discovered that wasn't the case
I recently accquired a leather interior for my car and set about stripping out all the old stuff including the old carpets which were getting quite rotten. It was at this point I discovered a pool of water in one of the sections under the rear seats. It soon became evident that water was getting into the car through one of the chassis 'box sections'. I then found a hole in the drivers footwell on the inner sill which is weldable, but still couldn't understand how the rain was getting in there? After driving to work in heavy rain this morning I also discovered water leaking in through the lapped joints on the inner sill. I left work early as I was pulling my hair out trying to find where the water was getting into the chassis (luckily the boss is away this week ). Anyway, when I got home and had a thorough poke around I discovered this!:
Could someone please advise and tell me if this is repairable?? I dread the thought of the car being scrapped after it's been with our family for 33 years
Thanks, Will.
