19 Renault 19 16v questions

[Lincooln]

Hi all.

I revently was given a renault 19 16v phase II. Currently has polo gti wheels which i will replace with the stock wheels, a terrible steering wheel i have a replacement for already etc.

I have been doong some long long oversue maintenance on the old girl. I have a few questions.
Firstly i need ti replace the bottom ball joints, are these the same as the standard 19s or are they different? Where would i gey some if they are different or what is the part number?

Secondly are the outer CVs normally non serviceable? I went to replace the left outer and the shop had some on the shelf luckily, but wjen i took mine out it was a non serviceable type. I know standard 19s had non serviceable driveshafts.

Lastly is there rust repair panels available? The bottom of the a pillar sill areas has some rust holes in it and needs to be fixed. Just thought if patch panels wwre available would be easier.

Cheers
Lincoln

Ball joints are the same.

shafts/outer CVs I'm not sure - I've had 19s with both types. Not sure if the replaceable CV type were replacement shafts or original.

Sills are available for 5dr hatch and saloon, not 3 door specific version. However, below the swage line, 3 door, 5 door and saloon are identical, I used a set on my 3 door.
