sill repair prices

[BluntyR5GTT]

Hi guys as you might know my car is due to have a full restoration part of which will be replwcing inner and outter sills on both sides, i was wondering what prices you have either paid or been quoted as im trying to gauge what seems a fair price. Of course i wont just opt for the cheapest and im doing as much research on proposed bodyshops etc that i can.

Sorry for the hijack but if you find a good reasonable bodyshop in stoke let me know as I'm in the same boat

That's cheap. I was quoted £150 a side just for jacking points.

Just remember to get you sills via raider gtt, the ones he gets are p1ssed on by virgins to protect them from rust. There also made with a super metal like no other, even NASA are looking into it for there new space stations.

buy a welder, and do it urself, cheaper! and you get a welder at the end of the job to keep!

still need to know how to use it though...like me, i have no clue and have to pay people to do this kind of thing.

Get on the mig welding tutorial forum. Will show you the basics of arc, tig, mig etc... Then buy a welder. I went for an arc inverter great bit of kit, but that was because I have to do mine outside. If you have a garage go for a mig with gas will be easiest.

[BluntyR5GTT]

right fellas iv had a stroke of luck which means my 5 is going nowhere now, im still after someone to do this welding and paint the required bits, iv already got the inner/outter sills and spare bonnet plus bumper repair panels. i just need someone to do the work for me.

russ (steerfromtherear) was going be doing it but hes had some unfortunate luck as of late so thats a no no.

so if any of you can either do the work or point me in the direction of another member then that would be great

[SirSamuelOfBuca]

can you post some pictures of the work please :)

[BluntyR5GTT]

i take it you mean when i finally get someone to do it? then add progress pics etc
