right i've had enough of fucking about with the cossys bodywork to the point that I just want to pay someone else to get her back to her former glory!!

Anyone local-ish to me (Fleet Hants) to fit new wings & back panel to factory ie spot welds rather than puddle welds with a mig ! also sort the odd door ding etc and a repaint the whole car

most of the body shops ive spoken to in the past are more interested in the insurance work ie quick in and out jobs

The only problem with this Matt is the quality of work as you may know.When you did a bit of paint before and repaired the arch at least you knew what was being cut out.I spent loads years ago on a Sapp colour change but also had sills/arches replaced plus I did all four doors bootlid and bonnet.It was a 2 year build and I used it for 3 months.
6 months down the line bubbling and lacquer peeling all over the place !.I sold it.
Nowadays I dont think I would be happy with any ones work unless its fucking mint !!.I suppose its worse because I have done prepping as a job.I should learn how to paint.
I just think as you would get more satisfaction doing it your self,I am sure as you have the capability/tools/space etc but if you cba then thats a different story lol.
