Think you will be very lucky if Tom can fit you in. I waited almost 2 years to get a slot with him then out of blue he rang me and said he could do it as he had a spare day. Unfortunately it took slightly longer due to inner sill and behind rear arch liner on both sides needed welding. Must say though it was worth the wait. I did find a classic car restorers in west Yorkshire who would have done it for £250.

It's good to see there's a few companies now doing these sills - it seems to be becoming a bit of a 'common theme'.
Thankfully our 75 is still OK here (for now...!)

Tom Force of Force Tuning did some on my last 75 - and the job was done incredibly well.

I contacted Tom a couple of months ago, he told me he was no longer fitting the panels but was concentrating on making them. I bought one off him via ebay.
He may of course change his mind. I've just been let down by a body shop who said they'd do mine, mot is due Saturday....��

Very pleased indeed with both the team and the job
Hi Chris75 where in Ellesmere did you get yours done?

Default Sill rust

Can any one recommend a restoration bodyshop to repair a sill - ideally Cheshire or not too far away.
I have one of Tom's repair panels, but have been let down by the shop I was taking it to, even though it was booked in I was told it'll be next month now no doubt it will be the same next month and the mot runs out on Saturday.

I've been made aware of a place in Ashton-under-Lyne called Rover Revival if that's any help.
