damn shame for you mate, my grandad died last year during my gcse finals but your right, you have to laugh about these things or else they just become hard to talk about.

panels should cost around £300-£500 for patterns no idea on herritage so £1200 seems ok-ish as there is easily 100+ man hours involved in repairs, but i'd still shop around, it's a shame your so far away as i'd give you a price to do the work

I'd pay for your travel and theres a travel lodge 10 mins away?

Its only a train from Birmingham down lol.

£1200 isn't too bad (depending on what needs to be done). I got quoted £2500 and £1600 to do a-panels, arches and fix a hole by the rear window.

This was for front end, flitch panels, scuttle and windscreen surround, upper dash rail rear valance, think i need some floor being done aswell.

Doesn't include the cost of panels.

similar to what mine needed then barr i repaired the surround and flitch panels instead and my rear quarters needed work, how are your sills ? i'd be surprised if they don't need work

Theres a patch on the rear quarter, i think it needs outer sills not checked the inners yet, but the sound proofing is wet so its not a good sign.

hmm i would do it for you matey but it'd probably be the same price if not more than £1200 with travelling plus i've only got two weeks before i go back to sixth form and i'm working next week and away the week after...if it was next year when i finish sixth form then i'd have no problems with coming down to london plus i'd have my car and liscence by then

would be a great way to start up my classic resto business...Stretch Tech Engineering

if they will let you work on your own car then that will be ideal i had a damp truck body up on 35 gallon drums to work in
