Default Rear outer sill repair panels

Hi all, not sure if folks have seen these but thought I’d pass on. Just spotted these on eBay. If they fit they look good for our cars.

Cheers,

Graham

I havent used them, but it is Tom Hobbs, who is very highly regarded (search for his site, and mentions on here to see the quality of his work). I believe these panels came about because of the exposure he has had on this site, and the demand for them.

I havent tried them, but from what I have seen and read, I would say buy with confidence. The welding and the rest of the repair will be what you will need to scrutinise to get maximum benefit.


EDIT: some links HERE

nice photos HERE

and his website HERE

I bought a pair direct from Tom just in case I ever need in the future and the work is first class and I have no hesitation in recommending them

Tom supplied me with five sets, some other owners were interested. One of them works with car repairs, roughly 35 years experience, reckons that Tom's work is first class and other owners who didn't take the chance of ordering, missed a golden opportunity to safeguard their cars future.
