Default Bodyshop recommendations.

My Saph has been off the road a number of years now and has had a bit of work done here and there, mainly an engine rebuild.

Because it never seems to be making much progress forwards to getting back on the road, I'm thinking of possibly putting it somewhere to get the bodywork required done rather than spend the 2 hours every 3 months I seem to have for it on it.

Is there anybody out there that may still be working on Sierra bodywork regular/semi regular that could take on such a project. Would include the likes of fabricating/welding below front footwell geometry, possibly fitting new sills, fitting new rear arches and generally 'mintifying' (made that word up) the underneath. A respray would then also be on the cards.

Obviously would want somebody reputable and who has experience on Sierras, and hopefully also enjoys working on them.

Any recommendations or advice appreciated.

Cheers

I think I know who you are on about but even though they have done Rog's car, I'm looking for someone who properly knows their way about a Sierra if possible, don't care where in the UK. Especially with a portfolio to prove work done.
