Just be aware Tom will not paint the car other than putting on some black on the sills, so you'll need to get it painted elsewhere.
However he seems to be the man to go to to get any rust work done.

Recently had mine done for £130 from a local mechanic. Shadow falls just wrong in that pic but you wouldn't know it has been done to look at in the flesh. Easier to do on a Cowley i guess as it's already black on the sills.

Hi the car Tom did on Facebook he did the paint as well. Its a red ZT. He stipulated the owner got the paint mixed though. Looked great!

Ah he told me that he did not paint apart from the stonechip black, maybe I got the wrong end of the stick

He told me he didnt do colours too but I never asked why. I think when the guy asked him and he said about paint matching the chap was happy to provide his own. So if people do that he will do colours now.

I commented on this a number of years ago essentially there is a poorly sealed three way panel joint which allows water into the sill. Its been a problem on both my 75's. Post 21 in this thread, may be of interest to someone.
