He sent lots of photos to show me what should be done and sent photos every day with the progress. it was very labour intensive. With great attention to detail. I always jack the car up at the front and rear if I’m servicing the car but if I had used the jacking points the car would of collapsed. Next time my kids call in I will see if they can load some photos up.

Ref you mobile welder Steve. After seeing what it entails and you have a lovely car. Save your money and weld a quick patch over it and book in with Tom. He will credit your sill you bought and knock it off the bill.
I have more than 1 rover 75 and a ZT and will definitely be going to him in the future for more work. All the best Chris

Hi Chris.
I will do a little more digging into the sill and your advice sound good.
I have recently found this on my NS sill and have purchased the sill from Tom, and have a mobile welder coming on the 18th to fit it, i have my fingers crossed that his work is going to be ok.

I think i may do a little more investigation tomorrow and maybe take the advice of Chris to book in with Tom.
I have time on my side as my MOT is not due until April 2023.
