does anyone know any good bodyshop in or around London?

I have 1989 E30 convertable, driving it for 4 years, love the car, but there are some issues. I mean 1 issue - rust. The hole appeared on driver side wing, I've got another wing from this forum member, so that's sorted, but there is some rust on the bottom of passenger side wing, and actually on both back wheel arches, and a little under the right back light.

any suggestions?

I got my bodywork done at ID Coachworks in Purley, South Croydon. They did a fantastic job and the propriertor Steve is a top fella. You can see the work done in my photo thread (about halfway down page 2): http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 5&start=25

Their website is here: http://www.leatherrenew.co.uk/ and their phone no: 020 8660 6444

have to return to the old thread, finally decided to fix rust and respray the car,
was kind of relying on ID Coachworks, went to see owner couple times, but unfortunately, when the wright time came, owner has some problems and can not do the job :cry:

may be will try to contact: www.sprcoachworks.co.uk as Steve suggested, but that's a bit far, well, and he kind of mentioned that they expensive... I'm not looking for something for nothing, but reasonable...

I think I saw another zoners thread asking for recommendations on London or not that far places, to do the rust fixing and respray, but after good hour on the zone, could not found it :mad:

I believe that some zoners did this sort of thing and can recommend. I do believe recommendation is the best thing to go for. Don't trust just fancy pictures of cars before and after.

thanks
