my car
I am also about to book mine in thanks to Trikey and MarinaB discovering rust in my sills - shock, horror! Had previously been assured there was no rust at all.

A different approach has been taken, and not necessarily the better method, in fact with the exception that the outer skin of the sill was removed completely and not left on the flange creating a three layer sandwich, the job Paul Baker done on Hinged Bap's car was similar to the one I did on the NSR last year on MB Snr's tourer. It is far preferable to form the lower "flat" section as one part, then the curved upper part as another. The reason for this is simple, the lower section is not parallel with the upper, and this is evident in the "cheat" of leaving the rear section untouched. Not every one sees the nuance of repairs in this area, Tom sees with a clarity that is unbelievably refreshing, and an attention to detail which is astonishing. What I'm trying to say here is "close, but no cigar" Brian |

At the moment it looks quite likely that I will be keeping my car and getting it repaired, which will involve a lot of structural repair work, especially to the front jacking points/lower A-post (looks perfect on the outside but from inside, behind the trim, I found it is rotten to the core). If I do go ahead I obviously want the best job possible done (and to work out the causes/source of ingress and solve that first).
