I've been phoning round to get some quotes for the front end including inner wings and A panels, and I've been shocked with the prices I'm getting!
Let me know how much you'd expect it to cost. Once I've had a few replies I'll let you know my quotes.

If you can do it for £800 Peter I'll deliver the car over!
Any more guesses/how much you'd pay?

Really depressed me, thought I'd be better off crushing it and buying a new one at that price!
Might just go out and buy a welder and learn to do it myself, otherwise it could be a long time until my mini ever sees a road again.

I think I might bite the bullet and get a welder and a decent mask next payday. Think I'll end up using the Mini magazine welding series to learn. How do you spot weld with a MIG welder though? All the panels seemed to be spot welded on. The inner wings seem quite a scary project.
I think I'd still get a pro to do the paint though.
