I guarantee that 99% of garages would just clash on the replacement section.

That's my concern too, sometimes the complete jacking turret has to be replaced/rebuilt, I doubt anyone other than a conscientious fabricator and welder would bother.

Finding people like Tom with the passion to do the job right is very hard to find

Reading that Tom won't have time in the future terrifies me. I don't trust anyone else with blue's sills should it ever need doing!

I've just been down to pick my car up, & Tom is thinking of new premises next year, so his time will be very limited. Once he's settled , I suppose he might start doing our cars again

Doubt that Tom would let you go elsewhere Dawn.

That looks a cracking job, I don’t know the man but he’s clearly good at what he does

I believe none at the moment, but I’ve made enquires and got a reply from Tom that almost echoes what suzublu says in post 23. Basically very busy, lots of big projects but hopes that at some point in the near future to be able to provide replacement panels so that owners can either fit the panels themselves or find someone else to fit them.

Regards

Dawn from what he said to me and as I told you at the nano you'll have no problem getting them done by him
