Can any one give me a rough price to have an inner & outer sill replaced on a classic Ford please ? I realise that it depends what is found but just a rough idea would help,i can get the panels it's just the welding labour i need

id say £2-300 for simple straight forward fitment of an inner and outer as a rough guide, with you supplying the panels, without paint (well, expect a bot of primer slapped on it). as soon as you find any other holes and previous bodges expect that to go up though- and on an early ford, you almost certainly will!!

don't go near them spotwelders, they are the work of satan! Dez is bang on with pricing and with the bodges you will find. If its had sills done in the past by a less than competent place expect lots of headaches, we also quite often find we needto feed a strip in the full length of the floor aswell as work inside the rear arches  That said, a methodical approach and its not to bad a job  |

As above, expect to spend some time in the inner wheel arches/sill closing panel areas. Rust always spreads further than you think. ;-)
