We have seen the pictures........... Sadly it won't be the end of the story in the case of the "repair" carried out on the rear inner and outer sill / jacking point section of your car Simon
It was an example of what would be described by Charles Ware, as a "short term MOT patch"
With that I mean a chicken poop "weld" with a lot of porosity and undercutting to a section of steel that had not had the tinworm cut back far enough, so much so as the ginger was showing through the paint.
You have to choose carefully when employing someone who is experienced, competent, and takes care and pride in what they do.
A lot of people claim to be classic car restoration specialists, or indeed welders, but I've seen some real horror stories, and yours is not the worst.
This is why when someone who clearly takes great pride in their work such as Tom Hobbs is discovered, then it is worth the effort in employing his services, even if a long journey is involved, if your car is going to be a keeper
It is exactly this type of inattention to detail that lead me to carry out repairs of this nature myself.........properly
