Colleagues! I am furious with myself - I've just damaged the outer sill on my 75 and it's going to need repair. I've been to a local bodyshop and he says I need to find a replacement outer sill. This could be cut from a scrap 75, or (of course) a new part. He would then cut out the damaged section, let in a new section, and paint it. The long chrome-like trim along the top of the sill is also damaged beyond repair, so again a part from a scrap car is required.

I have zero experience in body repairs and don't really know how to proceed. Does anyone know of a breaker that specialises in our car, or at least has one being broken? I live in Nottingham, but could travel any reasonable distance.

Will a breaker be willing and able to cut the sill off in a suitable state for reuse? Can anyone recommend a body shop that can handle cars of this age?

I've got a couple of photos. I'll clean them up and upload them a bit later. Thanks for any help or advice.
