Anyone know a good body shop who isn't booked for the year? Ideally NW

Post by doctorwedgeworth »

Both sills have been badly welded. They are solid, but the joins are rusted. Either want both replacing, or patching cosmetically so the rust stops coming through. There is a little rust under the wheel arches too - only side is minor, the other I've been told might need a plate.

I also need all seals replacing (boot, doors, sunroof) and then a full respray (same colour - white).

Anyone know anyone good?

CBS Autos, a MX5 specialist, in Nelson, rescued my 2 from the jaws of a bodge, see my thread

Page 6
forums/viewtopic.php?t=162292&postdays= ... b4c7f5a80b

But Carl is on his own at the moment, and he is always mega busy, not cheap but good

I suggest messaging his CBS Auto FB Page

https://www.facebook.com/mx5specialists/

regards Brian

for me I would wait to get in and be sure of a good job, dont expect a cash in hand quick bodge, he just wouldn't do it

Thanks. I tried him but he doesn't want to take on the work. There's a really good bodyshop nearby who are also booked up for the year.
