Default Diesel Connie bodywork restoration help wanted

Hello, my much loved Connie is looking rather sad, since I became seriously ill I have not been able to care for her as much as I would have liked. The rear sills both sides have rot as does the front offside wing, it's also getting flaky underneath, I wonder if anyone knew of somebody in the Doncaster area who could sort the welding etc and get her looking back like new?

This is the go to guy for sill/body repairs Tom Hobbs https://www.tjhobbs.com/contact.html

he is a master on the Rover 75/ZT sills - he is 45 miles South of Donny at Kimberley J26 M1.

Alternatively Tom sells prefabricated sills including the jacking point on E Bay which you could give to a local welder to fit .

Just google his name with Rover 75 and you will see how many club members recommend him.

As Martin has said, nip down to see Tom Hobbs, he is the best there is when it comes to sorting out sill issues on our cars.

A true craftsman with very good prices.
