Hi All

Need some advice, just bought a Transit camper, love the look and bags of character.

Im cleaning up the body work in preparation for this summer, the bottom sills have 2 plates welded to it, they wrap down to the bottom of the sill, its quite ugly looking.
I was thinking about cutting off the top parts which are in the line of sight, and repairing using fibre glass.
My question...is this part of the sill structural to the body?....ive got a fresh mot, failing Mot wont bother me much, i will pay someone to get professionally fixed next year should the van fail.
Thanks For Time Guys
