As promised, Tom sent me pictures of his work to my sills, so .........

Impressive

Thats a lovely job, pure genius. There is no better endorsement of Tom Hobbs work than those pictures.

We really could use full length reproduction sills for our cars!

The only problem with that is you wouldn't get the quality of Toms repair work on the jacking pad area and inside the sill cavity.

I guarantee that 99% of garages would just clash on the replacement section.

That's my concern too, sometimes the complete jacking turret has to be replaced/rebuilt, I doubt anyone other than a conscientious fabricator and welder would bother.

Finding people like Tom with the passion to do the job right is very hard to find

Reading that Tom won't have time in the future terrifies me. I don't trust anyone else with blue's sills should it ever need doing!
