Rusty sills

Hi all,

New to the site, see my post in the newbie section for your cyber drink.

Does anyone know of a decent bodyshop near to Burton-upon-Trent, Staffs that will not try and rip me off re sortingthe rust on the sills of my 5. They are rusting towards the rear arches, apparently quite common re the rain runoff etc. I have been quoted £170, each side to rub them back and treat and paint, and £400 each side to replace the rear panels. I can't beleive this is right, sounds awfully expensive to me. I had a Merc with bodywork damage that only cost me £300 a couple of years ago!!!!!!

Thanks in advance and an open can of beer for the winner

Cheers

H

    You will find that this applies to mainly the NA & NB.
