I didn't explain very well. On the outside of the car at the rear end of the sill where it joins the front of the wheel arch, which is presumably the lowest point, there's a hole. Therefore I'd decided to weld it up properly and then drill another, say 3/4" diameter and also at the front where it meets the wheel arch. These would enable me to spray the entire inside of the sills with cavity wax, probably Dinitrol.
I intend to plug the holes with rubber blanking grommets that I can remove to see if water is getting in and if so let it out. I may even leave the rear hole open as the best protection.
There's very little rust in the floor area inside the car, but I'll keep looking.
