Sill removal and rust prevention
Today the sills were removed so i could remove the mud and muck that had collected over the years on the sills, i also treated the areas so there should be no problems in the future for rust s:mrgreen

Clean up box section and check for rust
Treat areas with rust with your prefered products
I used zinc 182 primer, clear waxoyl spray for inside box sections and original waxoyl underseal
