Sill replacement
« on: 23 March 2013, 06:43 »
Gonna need some welding on my sills I discovered today :angry:, I don't want to patch them up so looking for the whole sill to be replaced on both sides, found the panels for £13.64 each and been quoted £150 to weld them in.....does this sound a fair price? I will have to paint them myself after they are welded in.

Thats a good price, I hope there is enough floor/inner sill left to stitch the bottom in properly....mine needed half a floor pan :lipsrsealed:

tbh 150 for both sides is a very good price, just make sure that includes the basics... like acid primer being applied to it... in this weather with the salt (that the idiots put on the road for a tiny amount of snow...) it would otherwise be covered in rust by the time you get home.

Have a look at my build thread to see how much work is involved in changing the sills, £150 sounds like a good price,
