Smile Sill repair

Just had the rears of both sills on the 75 tourer repaired - due to the common corrosion issues these cars are now suffering from.
After spending time contacting various bodyshops and viewing previous completed work to ensure the repairs would be carried out to the standard i wanted (I cannot get to Tom Hobbs unfortunately) I opted for a local restorer/bodywork man who managed to squeeze me in even though he is really busy.
I bought a pair of Tom Hobbs repair panels and let him get on with the job, unfortunately I didn't take before pictures of the sills - they looked really bad and i was expecting plenty of corrosion to the inner sills and jacking points going by pictures posted up on here of other members cars.
Got the car back earlier this evening and am really pleased with the results, see the pictures below of work in progress and the finished job.
(wasn't able to load all of them or in the correct order, , but it's obvious how they should be).
Next job to do is to treat the sills to a good dose of Waxoyl internally to ensure they don't corrode again any time soon.
