Hi guys and girls,
after being convinced that self repair is unwise (apparently rust CAN'T be repaired and you must replace the panel!?) i thought i'd search out a body shop in the south west area. i'm located in Totnes, devon, and wondered if anybody knew anywhere decent in the area?
thanks
Tom
ps, does everyone agree that minor surface bubbling should not be stripped backed, primed and repainted? and that a new panel is ideal?

i would knock the surface rust off make sure i got rid of all rust i could see, then prime and paint it, then if it comes back think about a new pannel

Hi Tom, pay Tupmans minis in Newton Abbot a visit, i think they deal with 2 bodywork places, the bees knees one and a affordable one, but does really good work

This is all subject to how bad it really is.... Got any pics?
If it really is just
Then i completely disagree that it
Could be repairable,... depends how far the rot goes etc..
