brill news everybody,

both the outer and middle sills are are carbon copy of the stanpart ones, plus contain the front nose, it dont get better than that surely !!!!

the outer sill and nose are pressed separately, then welded together and ground down so you cant see the join, so for those of you that prefer to cut the nose off anyway, they will be cheaper than the £103 as no welding and grinding costs are added.

the middle strengthener is one pressing, so the option of not having the nose attatched does not apply

they are prepared to rush up an order of one outer and one middle and get it to me so i can take it to stoneleigh allowing you all to see the quality of them ANDY DANN IS PAYING FOR THESE, SO OUR THANKS SHOULD GO TO HIM !!

full outer sills with nose attatched £103 + vat + postage mk1 and 2
full outer sill with nose but not attatched £96 + vat + postage
full middle sill strengthener with nose attatched £70 + vat + postage.

ive had quite a few orders already, and thanks for that, so if you want some please let me know asap.

i tried to beat them down on price, even fluttered my eyelashes at them and showed em a bit of leg over the phone, but they wouldnt budge on the price

let me know guys so i can put the order together as there is a 3-4 month lead time on these.

good idea on the drop off points also, sounds like a plan

....and with Stoneleigh in a month or so's time!

Partly what I was thinking as I hope to be there assuming no hiccups with my knee operation.

As long as it doesn't need new sills, or wings, or...

Cheers,

ive been called many many things over my lifetime tim, saviour was never one of them, ask the ex wife, he he he.

glad to be of help, as that is all im trying to do, save our great cars

chris witor is passing any of his customers over to me that need sills, so hopefully that should add to the already big order list

there is a minimum order number with these sills, and i have reached that number, but as i have stated before and as andy said, each order takes 3-4 months each time, upon placement, so if you know your car is gunna need sills in the near future, can i surgest you place an order now and just stick em away until you need them ??

hey there steve,

your getting confused, you wanna try it from my end, ive got orders of all sorts flying in, my head is frazzled lol

i will try and clear this all up,

front half wings mk2: i need more confirmed orders / pre orders to make it viable, i will be sending out order forms to members that have requested them in order to take thier 50% deposits, and will hold that money in a special account ( with alan chatterton as counter signature ) until such time that i have enough orders to make it all happen, if there isnt enough interest and monies generated, i will simply return members monies and the wings wont get done. i have to ask for a 50% deposit to prove that people are serious in thier requests for panels, or i could be stuck with alot of panels, and tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket. if production goes ahead, from placement of order with the manufacturer, the lead time at present is around 10-12 weeks, after that time, the other 50% will be asked for and must be paid without delay.
sorry if that all sounded a bit harsh, but thats how it has to be to enable this to work, as we are talking vast sums of money here, and the manufacturer doesnt mess around, they are as professional as they come.

sills: now that is a bit easier, i take the outer and middle sills to stoneleigh for you all to see the quality, take more orders, ask for your monies, place the order with the manufacturer, wait 3-4 months for them to arrive, unpack them, repack them all individually and send them off to you all.
ive asked for £2.50 to allow me to repack your sills, to cover my time, packing material and fuel to take them to the post office etc, but there will still be the postage cost on top to get them to you, as stated when i posted the price list. i have not put any monies on top of the panels, they are cost price, all i will be doing is adding the £2.50, and to be honest, that wont really cover it all, ive simply arranged all this to save our cars and help you fellow members because a minimum order number was required, so someone to to organise it so it could happen.

if we can arrange drop off points as ted said, that would save you the £2.50 and me the time of repacking them, plus if you want to collect them off me from cardiff, im more than happy to do that also, it would be nice to meet some of you at long last.

all my money is tied up in the other panels at the mo, in order to get the outer and inner sills for you all to see at stoneleigh, i asked andy dann to pay for them, this he did willingly and without hesitation, so a HUGE thanks has to go to him, thanks again andy, you"re a star !!

i hope that has clarified everything, but if ive missed anything, just gimme a shout, and once again thanks for everyones support and good wishes that i get daily, but please remember guys, if we want these panels, it is up to us to make it happen.

hi peter,

you lucky so an so !!!!!!!!!

as regarding payment, you can all sent it when you want, i was going to wait until after stoneleigh and people had seen the quality of the sills, but feel free to send it any time.

the easiest way i guess, would be paypal, so long as you all put it down as a " gift ", or i will be charged paypal fees on every transaction, or i will pm each of you the account number and sort code and you can just transfer it in ( barclays ), but before any of that, i need to type up an order form and email it to you all, so its all kept "offical", i shall do that today, and email them off to everybody that is on the list, so those that havent given me thier email addy, please do so.

Hi Llyod will see you at Stoneleigh..............

PS if you have finished with mine and Dave's panels and want save you time we could probably bring these back with us if we can get them in car or mate maybe in his van.

Lee

see you there lee.

im back off to the manufactures last week in feb, i havent finished with your"s and dave"s panels, as they havent been scanned, and as it costs over £600 to scan each one, i wont be doing that until just prior to actually placing an order with them.

i have the prices for the rears that you and dave lent me, and as the mk2 wings will be first, i will bring them back with me and just grab them off you again, nearer the time of production and take them back up for scanning. ( if thats ok with you two )

so see you both there, and ill bring your panels with me, and thanks.
