I'm trying to find the left and right outer sills for my '93. The right side has rusted thru so badly that large sections of it are now missing (Chicago winters )


I've checked with local dealers and some online vendors (courtesy and nissan parts zone) and while they all show the parts and prices on their websites, they have told me they are no longer available.

Are there any aftermarket vendors that anyone can recommend that might carry these?

I'm thinking at this point my only option is to find a boneyard/seller that would be willing to cut out the entire sill section from a good donor (unlikely here in Chicago as every car I've seen has the same issue).

Thanks in advance....

 

You are going to have to cut (or have somebody willing to) good sections out of a donor car, then weld those into your car.

I did the same thing several years ago on one of my 3rd gens that came from up north (though my entire sills weren't rusted, just the rear sections). I made a thread for the work I did:

If I were you, I'd check the strut towers in the engine bay along the frame rail and especially the rear strut towers in the trunk behind the backseat. You'll need to pull the carpeted liners out of the trunk to inspect properly, but those may be terribly rusted. If that's the case, those should concern you more than the lower door sills which may be largely superficial.

 

I have an entire quarter panel/rocker panel I just may not end up using after all and its rust free. If you're anywhere near IL, I may consider selling
