Corrosion in the cills
Two photos illustrate worrying rust blistering seen on the surface of the cill and then what is revealed underneath as serious corrosion. As many MGBGTV8s reach a stage when restoration work is needed an awareness of corrosion in a major risk area - the cills- is essential.

Surface rust doesn't look good but it doesn't seem too serious but the cill structure on MGBs and derivatives like the MGBGTV8 is prone to corrosion which can become a structural problem that has to be dealt with.
But when it's opened up a far more serious situation is revealed and clearly a cill replacement is necessary as part of a restoration.
