I guess you mean suggest a Company who can do it all..

Only joking mate, sounds like you have some serious rust issues, try some of it yourself, youd be supprised how much you can do on your own, i was!

If you cant, try minispeed or you local body shop.

Loughborough isn't really convenient for West Byfleet though is it?

There must be a good classic car bodyshop somewhere near by. Try checking classic car mags.

im thinking of taking it to P&L minis

[Dan]

They weld and paint well, but they're expensive.

And there have been horror stories. Check the thread

P&L Minis are con artists!

for some examples.

[Pavel]

But also keep in mind that at some point there's been bad things said about almost every mini company

The nearest place to you I can think of with a good reputation is Dereks custom built Minis in Wolverhampton, but ask around for examples of his work.

[Rob]

I know its a bit late but where is dereks custom built minis? I dont live to far away from wolves.

i gave them a call and they wernt' helpful.
but we didn't get in to much detail. unfortunly problems at work are meaning i need to put it all off until i know i will have a job in a few mounths time.
