I thought he was patching his sills not his chassis?
By the way, one of these will go well with the angle grinder, along with the cutting and grinding discs Twist Knot Wire Cup Brushes - Machine Mart

My own MIG is a SIP turbo 130, its good enough and doesnt blow the house fuses, LOL but for chasis work I tend to use my arc welder whenever possible but the 130 will cope too.
If I had to recomend then a 130 will do. Certainly non of my Landies have ever come apart after welding but I am a lloyds certified welder too

just waiting on a responce from ebay and im in with a mig welder
as for the sills
The rear im gonna get these... x2
and then these for the sills.... x2
Just thinking for my first time this will make things easyer its gonna cost me £136
Would it be a case of unbolt the old sills (i noticed two bolts on each) then cutting out the sills with a grinder??? im gonna guess being gentle not to cut throught the outer sill?
Sorry if i sound patchy i've found loads of sites with pictures but no oune explaning how to remove lol just my luck.....

best (but more time consuming) to drill out the spot welds.

you got it, yes.. only dont be afraid of cutting too much, if its rotten it needs to come out, you can make good with patches afterwards. just bolt the new sill onto the chassis and make good around it. sounds easy LOL.
Yes the rear mounts are fine, you may need a boot floor panel too. how are the inner wings, a favourite rot point?
