Sills
« on: May 25, 2021, 14:26:17 »
I need sills on both sides of my 113. Can anyone give me an idea of the cost of labour and parts please.
Can you recomend anyone in the SE (England) who you would trust to do the work and make a nice job.
Thank you

The chances of you only needing sills are next to zero due to the almost 100% likelyhood that there's other rust too.
As a result, someone like me, who knows these cars intimately, wouldn't dream of quoting in advance or indeed without seeing the car first.
In any case the right side inner sill is not available for RHD cars so will have to be fabricated.

biffabeau meet Colin Ferns(stickandrudderman).  I think I told you about him on Facebook.  Having just restored a rusty car I can safely say Colin is right.  Rust can be a quagmire.
