Default Good Car Restorers in the South of England?????
Car is getting put in for restoration in July.
Am after a place to do it with a good reputation.
Anyone had any work done or know of good work that has been done?

Preferably near me ( Hertfordshire) but will travel for quality work

Cheers
Dave

The chap who is painting my XR2 as we speak is currently restoring a customers S1 at the moment. He's a quality welder/panel beater etc and is very meticulate. He has also recently done a camper van. It went in a rusty old bus and came out fookin mint! (still an old bus though!!).

Company is TNT Body Repairs.
