Back sill renewal idea of costs
Hi does anyone have a rough idea of how much in their experience per back sill renewal Tom Hobbs charges please?
( I do appreciate that you are not quoting on Toms behalf and that there are differences in the amount of work required) Just a rough idea would be fine please. |

I will but thought that someone who has had it done might give me a little pointer before dragging him away from his welding equipment to answer the phone.
It might also decide whether I get a plated over job locally to get through the MOT before trying to contact who I would assume is a very busy chap. I've got a rough idea now thanks to a private message and will act accordingly. Cheers Last edited by bendrick; 31st August 2021 at 12:48.. |

I have paid as little as £250 for both rears done and up to £420 for the same job, if the rust is really bad and has eaten into the jacking points and inner sill / floor area it can be closer to £500

Don't think so. To be honest I just felt underneath and pushed, hearing and feeling the crinkling of crusty metal I did have to use a little pressure. We'll see what the total situation is when the mechanic strips out the nasty bits. I'm expecting the replacement Tom sill sheets tomorrow and will see whats what next week presumably |

I've just put my ZT into a place in Liverpool to do the offside rear sill which you can literally pull to pieces with your fingers - not sure what happened as I just bought her (with full knowledge - negotiated on that basis) but it looks like a jack has gone through then been left to rot and spread. They will need to repair inside and out and respray. We're taking around the £400 mark. It's a classic car restoration business. Should be complete middle of next week - I'll update on how it went as it may be useful to others if they do a good job - I'm from Liverpool and visited a few firms in St Helens where I live now but gravitated back to my old stomping ground. Only time will tell if that was a good or romantic idea!

Just to say Tom is very busy and you do have to chase him a bit , I find it best to call him he's on WhatsApp too.
Have a look at this post of my car and the horror that lies beneath https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=294210 Talking to Tom last time I took mine he said he prefers to have a car for 2 days to do a sill as the pics in my post are what he finds as typical when he cuts the metal away.
