Need a decent body shop to do a front scuttle panel and two rear innner and outer arches on the touring.

Any suggestions?

Hi Mark.

A friend of mine recommends H B panel craft, he had his company car done there and took his own Z4 there too. They charge what you would expect for a decent job, but atleast you know its gonna be right. Maybe worth a try anyway. www.hbpanelcraft.com

Failing that I know a good one in Lytham that I have used several times.

Cheers.

Alan.

Thanks, I heard mixed reviews for the older car comming out of HB, newer ones fair play. Thanks for your advice though.

I have spoke to a classic car restoration guy in Leyland, and he seems OK over the phone, I will be going to see his work later this week, see what happens.

Try Greenwoods in Longridge, near preston. Excellent standard of work had bits of mine done there a few years ago. www.gvrf.co.uk

In an emergency, 325 is the quickest way to go.......
