Do You have the correct equipment and experience ? you will need to remove the old sill and rectify any rusting on the inner sill / jacking point etc , prime the inside of the sill and then weld on the new sill , prime and stonechip followed by a coat or 2 of body colour , when you are finished spray some 'waxoyl' type product into the cavity to protect from future rusting , remember the sill is a structural panel on the mini and MUST be fitted correctly to retain the structural rigidity of the shell .

Cut the sill using a cutting disc at the top edge where it joins the side panel and push down to expose the spot welds on the floor which can be removed then . rim off any excess on the joint surfaces before trial fitting the new sill .
