Body Work Repairs

I'm looking for a bodyshop to do a basic patch up job on the bucket as it is now quite shabby.

 

Any ideas??

 

Cheers

Stu, i'd highly recommend Tardebigge Bodyshop just on the outskirts of Redditch.

 

They've done loads of work for me over the years and have also looked after quite a few MLOC'ers in the recent past, they also do a lot of work for Paul Matty's these days.

 

If it's not too far from you, their number's 01527 550422, ask for Jeff and make sure you tell him i sent you!!!

 

I'm sure he can sort out whatever sort of repair you're after, be it quick and cheap or full concourse standard. :clap:

Stu just had a quote of a guy in kirkby in ashfield junction 27 on the M1. he's done a few elises and is fiberglass trained ( boats originally)

 

He was recommended by a friend whose elise he repaired.

 

Let me know if you want his details.

Not used them for fibreglass repairs but L W Smart's in Alfreton did a good spray job for me. Ask for Leigh Watson 01773 835159.

 

Edited to add link... clicky

Yes please!

 

Cheers Guys,

 

no rush as its more about getting it all straight first. Will then sort out bodywork. Just after some recomendations and then will fire up the camera, take some shots and send off for quotes.

 

Not looking for concours. Local and cheap is better!! (Just like all the best women too (joke))!!

I've never yet found a cheap woman, they are all damn expensive. Me a cynic ... probably.

Stu, considering that you 'may' bump the car again :P would it be worth doing a DIY job? Or don't you have time/CBA?

Is that place still run by Dave Underwood? Classic case of a bloke who seems to have a chip on his shoulder becuase he's short!

The car is stored under its duvet on the farm at the moment and will stay there unyil I decide what I am doing with it...

 

Since the weekend I am half considering selling up....But, that's probably the disappointment and self annoyance at the moment...

 

When I have decided what to do, which bank to rob, I'll revisit the post and plan next steps.

 

I am looking for a patch up job as it may happen again....
