Weld-away. The inside is dry. Grind away everything on the outside, and this will show you how dry the inner sills are. The problem is around the drain-holes I bet? Be careful of the heat on the carpets about the inside area, and ALWAYS have a helper / fire-watcher when welding, ready with a means of extinguishing. ALWAYS disconnect alternator and battery, some people say not to bother, I say, disconnect!

Hi PJ
I have done the job now and as you say all nice and dry. And yes just by a drain hole. I always have the garden hose on standby and keep checking if there is heat/hot spot above where I am welding. The last time I had a watcher he went awol and the car was on fire, put out with hose ok. I use a sealy welding cap, which seems very good, so I dont disconnect anything.
