As per usual I've seen a wide selection of vehicles go through the workshop recently, some sporty, some not so sporty. A track prepared Honda Civic Type R for rear inner sill repairs, 19 year old VW Golf plus for 2 new sills and the only sign of corrosion on the car, A quite obviously "Very fast" and fantastic condition 20 year old Subaru Impreza for rear sill and inner wheelarch reconstruction, the pictures showing the construction of the sill panels, a 22 year old VW Beetle for rear sill repairs where all the wet debris gets trapped under the wheelarch liner, a supurb one owner 20 year Proton Jumbuck pick up for new sills which again meant I had to make new sill panels as they are no longer available. All my repairs are rustproofed on the outside and wax injected on the inside. Finally for those with a good memory of the old site at Long Hanborough and "Kay's Pantry", the van my late father John Oliver built that never really got finished and is now unfortunately destined for the big scrap yard in the sky, I've cut a side panel and door section from it which he sign wrote himself and they now hang very nicely in my workshop.
