To say this Mercedes-Benz G300 had some rust in the sills would have been a drastic understatement. Once we started cutting out the rust and filler we found there wasn’t a lot left of either the inner sills or the outer sills. On the left hand side it had also spread to the first outrigger and body mount. The only solution was to cut it right back and replace it with fresh metal. We fabricated sill panels to match the original contours with our sheet metal folding machine.
A very nice and well presented Rover P6 came in with a few small rust concerns. As is often the case, once poked and prodded those small concerns became quite large concerns. A common place to find rust in a Rover P6 is in the d-post. A structural area just in front of the rear wheel that meets the sill. Once you get some bubbles in this area it’s usually a sure sign that there is a serious issue inside. We also dealt with some rusty doors and a major rust repair at the front of the n/s sill. Paint was colour matched and turned out perfectly.
Matt Richardson brought in his trusted old Rover P6 for some love and attention. The d-panels, behind the rear doors and ahead of the rear wheels were pretty rotten. We cut out all the rust and let in new metal on both sides. We’ve also fitted a refurbished steering idler, rear axle belows and bushes ahead of an MOT.
