Hi all,
I’m looking for recommendations for a good bodyshop in the East midlands. The rear arches on my Arizona are starting to rust and I would like to ge tthem done sooner rather than later. The problem being that my car is blaze yellow which is apparently a nightmare to match and spray. Which is why I want to know a place that somebody has already used as opposed to picking one at random.
Regards
Colin

Does remedial work for Noble, great bloke and good friend of mine. Tell him Martin sent you (we play skittles together).
You’ll also be less than half a mile away from JIMparts (Leigh is a decent MX5 chap too).
In the same boat with my '95 California - MOT due early March so I’m now looking for a decent bodyshop as despite having my car waxoyled last summer, this winter has been particularly unkind to the 'Five and the sills & arches on both sides now need proper repairs. I know yellow is difficult to match as I used to work for a car sprayer. I could get my car bodged just to see it through the MOT, by that I mean sand the rust scabs off and load the sills with filler, which I can do myself (I did it this time last year!) but I really ought to remedy the corrosion properly.
What doesn’t help is the fact that I might be losing my job at the end of February so I could do without having to shell-out £300+ (or whatever the going rate for new sills is?) to fix my car but at least I know that once the job is done, it should last another ten years without worry.
I live near Stoke-on-Trent, so I’m more West Midlands area but I’d be willing to travel out of my way if a good bodyshop came highly recommended; good quality but I can’t afford to be ripped-off. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
