Good restoration bodyshops in the south?
Im in need of some repairs to my inner wing on the cossy, rot around the passenger strut top 
I have purchased a new inner wing so I can have the best repair possible but don’t know where to take the car to get it done..
Im thinking of a classic restorer or a very good body shop, I really want the whole turret section removed from my car and the new section cut out to fit and welded in place.
Anyone have any ideas?? Dont mind traveling 100-150 miles for the right place.
Cheers
John

John, have you concidered Central Blast, there near Oxford but there work is unreal. A friend is having his mk1 escort done there at the moment & there work is second to none. I would say they would repair it & you wouldn't be able to tell

wow thanks for the advise chaps, will investigate those.
Matt ive just looked on central blast cleaning site, they do look very good i have to say. bit of a trek for me but could be well worth it. I will get a quote i think.
Antony I will pop down to AnsonAuto's and have a chat with them, could be handy to have the car collected too.
Staffi, bloody annoying mate thats what it is
could have spent the money on going faster hehe

Kustom Kolors
Kustom Kolors are also very reasonably priced considering some of the involved work they undertake. I wouldn't use anywhere else, the work they have done on my Focus Cossie is second to none.

I'm not just saying it because he's my Father but he really does do the best and most honest work i've ever seen! His attention to detail and craftmanship IS second to none!
I've seen some of the shit that people claim to have come from professionals at shows etc and his work passes that by a country mile!
No rip off prices either 'because they used to work for Ford' or whatever
If your interested, drop me a PM and we'll sort something out, you can see me Saph too!
