Richards Body shop in Newtown did my rear offside sill and wheel arch, you would not even know that it had been repaired, looks as good as new, cut out a section as big as a hockey stick then phoned me to say the inner sill had gone as well, all fixed, brilliant job. There are some really good tradesmen out there. He specialises in Porches and rally cars.

David.
These are the other photo's from your visit to Tom, he as done a quality job I am sure he is going to be a very bust chap over the coming months from members finding out the same problem. Check those sills before the winter salt is thrown down the last photo is of my jack point for comparison

You will have to explain to me where I was going wrong when I tried to post the photographs. I hope he is not going to be too busy as I would like him to restore my 1968 MG Midget bodyshell. Regards David |

I'm off to Tom today to pick up my car and by the looks of the photos he's sent it is a fantastic job.

(Anyone tried asking Tom to join the forum? He seems to be saving a lot of 75’s) |

When he replaced my sill he said he did not do paintwork and that the repair would be finished in black. However he just happened to have a can of silver paint so he painted mine as well. Tom is a really nice bloke and his dad is a canny bloke as well.

I'm sure he'll do your MG - but he told me that full restos take time, and he usually doesn't get paid until the end, so he enjoys fitting in our 75's as it gives him pocket money in between! I think he will paint the sills the colour of the car if you get the paint mixed yourself and take it along. my V6 will need doing next year I think, and that is my plan. |
