Hi, does anyone know if you can get replacement sills for the Spyder, mine is a 1981 model. I am currently trying to restore my spyder but everytime I think I am winning another hole appears! usually filled with old newspaper and lots of filler. My resolve is starting to waver now and some times I wonder if its worth all the hassle!
 
Any help mush appreciated, Jez.

Hi, can you make a repair panel about 12" long for both the offside and nearside sills from the rear wheel arch forward? If you can how long would this take and could you advise the cost please.
Thanks,
Jez

We would strongly recommend replacing the whole outer sill rather than a small section.    The sill is probably the most important structure on the car as they provide the cabin with a lot of structural strength.     Replacing the whole outer sill will allow you to see whats really going on behind and to give a change to make good any corrosion on the inner sill.
 
Pricing will be similar to a Fulvia outer sill - £ 105 ish plus VAT.
