But having kids on my own somewhat limits my traveling. Quality welding is not a quick job........ so add that to the travel time......... limits me even more. |

It's good to know he's nearby, but I hope I don't ever need him.

I have asked Roy to post the details of the company who undertook the work.
I believe there is also a chap in Hampshire who does the same job to an excellent standard. I'll try to find his details and post them too. |

I can recommend a local to me company for dealing with dents, pulling out of dents and repainting. They fixed my crushed outer sill as good as new without any filling or welding. http://www.stationroadbodyshopleeds.co.uk/

For anyone living in the South there is a chap used by member higed_bap called Paul Baker Custom Metalwork Ltd. Based in Fishers Pond Hampshire the work looks to be a good standard too.
The thread about his car (with some pics) is here Their website is http://www.pbcm.co.uk/ |

This might be a silly suggestion, but could Tom make a few repair panels up for people who can't get to him in person? I assume he'd need paying upfront, but I don't see a difference in him making them or a person buying them from a panel manufacturer? Considering what he charges for making AND fitting, I doubt there would be a huge price difference from his to bulk manufacture prices?
