Default Sill welding south east?

Hi all,
So progress continues on the connie... replacement bonnet resprayed and fitted today.
Video is here: https://youtu.be/44JcCBS34YM

So... I was hoping the body shop that did the bonnet work for me could repair the hole in my rear drivers side inner sill, but no joy!

At this stage I’m thinking about getting a replacement sill panel from Tom Hobbs, but getting it welded down here in south east Kent.

So... does anyone know of any reputable garages who will weld and paint the replacement panel to a high standard? Any suggestions greatly appreciated! And thanks to whomever it is that is watching my cheesy cheapo videos on the Rover!

Grizz

If you don't find someone more local, then I can certainly recommend a mercedes specialist who has done welding for me. Reasonable charges as well.
I think he does small paint work associated with welding repairs, himself.

However, next door is an accident repair and respray man. Expensive but good.

Located near Sevenoaks, PM me if you want more details.

Regards

Mike
