Hi, I'm in the process of considering opening a specialist Ford bodyshop in the Middlesex area. I've a huge interest in Old School Fords and so would like to channel this on a daily basis. I currently work for McLaren, at The McLaren Technical Centre, Woking, painting the SLR.
The bodyshop could comprise of anything from blow-ins, show cars, race cars through to full restoration. Both myself and my colleagues have specialist areas of knowledge, and are all highly skilled preppers, painters and polishers with a vast knowledge of all paint products like Glasurit, ICI, Dupont etc. All panel work will be done by a highly skilled panel beater I know. Also considering a Mechanical side, as I know a couple of guys that when it comes to Fords are an encyclopaedia of motor knowledge with many years of experience.
Please email me if you would like to see pictures of my past work to give you a mere example of the quality of work I've achieved and am capable of. I've also some pictures of the Mechanical guys' cars, MK1 & MK2 Escorts, converted by themselves.
Please give me some feedback, whether it be good or bad, all's appreciated.
Many thanks.

it would be good to see a proper specalist bodyshop, most are just insurance derived places that rush everthing. a lot of people are still willing to spend a lot of money on their car, even if it outways the value of the vechile.
out of interest, what part of Middlesex are you considering?
