Hoods and bodywork in W Yorks - Advice please
ONE
I have mentioned before I need to have my body work done and a complete respray. Unfortunately, the guy who was going to do it is not now able to.
Can anybody recommend a decent body work garage, that won't charge the earth? A garage in West Yorks or neighbouring counties would be considered.
Bits wise, I probably need the bottom half of both rear sills and the front valance, and some oddments (like one front rain channel). I would probably buy these myself from Rimmers or Paddock; but I need a complete respray, and a change of colour from Java Green (yes, I know there are some fans of this colour, but I ain't one).
TWO
I need (pretty darn quickly), a new hood AND frame (the leading bar with the two locking handles is made from 50% rust and 50% thin air. (The passenger side handle does not fasten and there is a gap about two inches to the left of my side handle. The floor is covered in thick flakes of rust from this bar). I dare not drive at more than 40mph as the hood lifts at just 20mph, and any significant speed is likely to rip it off entirely.
The only supplier of the complete thing I can find is Rimmers, but they want an arm and a leg (well over a grand). Can anybody recommend a decent supplier who are a bit cheaper than that?
Thanks,
