Removal of the dreaded tinworm
 
My 75 is having the rot removed from the sill areas around the jacking points here are a few photos to show the work, the first is the 'patch' done to get her through the MOT last year and the rest ' the proper job'
This was done by the same fella that did Dawn's car, I can't reccomend him enough, I'll send pics of the other work later.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fe5c31adce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...38a37ba332.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...231b6cfeda.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6c9856d2bf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b9b2fcb40.jpg

Roy you should make more effort to clean those areas of your car to stop this happening like I do:D

Sticking a cowpat over the rot to hide it doesn't count though Dave :D

Does he profile the replacement metal himself, or has he cut it from a donor sill?

I'm not sure if I can mention his name on here as he is not a forum member, If I can I will post a link

To be honest it's really my fault for not keeping on top of it, once I get it back and the weather warms up I'm going to flood it with some jollop to hopefully stop it happening again, I'll post pics of the other side and the front sill when I get chance.

That's a work of art, looks spot on.
