Cill Repair

sln8458 · 11th January 2024, 11:06

Had the N/S cill repaired last week, got the car back yesterday

Panels from Tom

A few pics, hopefully not too large !!:

After they had finished the external paintwork, they waxoiled the internals of the cill.

Looks great, did you go to Tom to have this done or did you order the panel and have someone local do it for you?

I ordered the panels from Tom. both cill panles + 1 jacking point.
Got a local (ish) body shop to do the work, only needed N/S doing now, so saved the O/S panel for the future.

Generation Bodyworx, North Walsham.
They collected the car last week & retuned it on completion.

Thanks

will keep a note of that for future in case I need to get one done. If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge for that job?

Hi Rick..
I had ine done at WATTO's on the Rackheath ind estate a year or so ago and they did a good job however they were a bit pricey... Best part of £500 for both sides with Tom's repair panels. They also rebuilt the jacking points.

Pete,
I seem to remember, could be wrong, but didn't you mention that you were not happy with the paint finish from them??

Cheers Pete another one to make a note off. £500 doesn't sound bad if that's for the pair with the jacking points as well. I think Tom charges £150 a side + extra if the jacking points need doing as well if I remember rightly.

Only to the extent that they used a textured paint finish when they were originally just Satin black but on hindsight the paint they used probably protects the sills better.
I'm not sure if they would repaint a longbridge car's sill in original colour.
