hi mate
do you mean the black plastic door sills?
if so then, i did it to mine easily the only thing you have left is 7-8 square holes about 1cm squared on either side.
here is a picture of mine before
after (i have put electrical tape over it now until i find out how to fill them up)
i hope this is what you mean

Hey corrupt, did you weld any of that or just use rivets? I need to do a similar fix on mine & not sure which way to go yet. Do you have any pics of the underside where you attached the sheet metal to the inside of sill/body?

Just rivets on the visable sides, then bogged over, no pis of underside, just welded to the bottom of floor.
