Bodywork

Whilst having a look over the car yesterday i noticed the tin worm has invaded the rear arch and sill of my offside/drivers side. So ive ordered myself a new sill and arch repair panel.

Question is... whats a rough going rate for having these welded in place? Will have a search around locally for a good quote but just wanna know what to expect?

Danke

whoa £1200 is a bit extreme! :mad:

a few hundred quid aint too bad though... will get on the case for some quotes this week and let you know how i get on.

Any local zoners near Birmingham recommend anywhere decent?

my mate used this guy...

http://www.walmleyrepair.co.uk/

he fitted his roll cage to his legacy turbo and did some sill work at the same time. he works on police cars too so cant be that bad.

this is not the guy that quoted me 100 per corner!!!
