Rust repair and undersealing in London or S.E England

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __NC 2.0
  2. I’m based near: Bromley Kent
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __Looking after rust and preventing it

The MX5 Restorer is 60 miles away so it’s a possibility but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good bodyshops or underseal companies close to me? S.E London and SE England.

Just wanted the car checked over as it has some tiny rust spots on the arches, get that sorted and then get it sealed up.

I’m in Croydon and don’t hesitate to drive to the Mx5 restorer to look after my car.

They undersealed my NC last year and my MOT guy reckoned it was the nicest job he had ever seen.

They are crazy busy at the moment.

I’m in Essex and have been to MX5 Restorer a couple times as always very impressed with their work

Another vote for MX5 Restorer. Realistic pricing and know what they are doing.

I have been compiling a list and don’t know of another down your way besides MX-5 Restorer:

Went with the advise, called and sent mx5 restorer an email. Fingers crossed I might be able to get MisterR CRD fitted and aligned in some sort of bundle.

I’ve been using Marc for over 15 years now and I’ve never had a job I’ve been disappointed with. I would recommended any customer, friend or family member to use him. Feel free to mention my name.

I will give them a shot and see. Thanks.

Mx5 restorer messaged me back and said repairing arch rust on the NC arches is pointless because it will come back but if I wanted it done it’s going to be £300 per side.

This is basically the worst of it that I can see.

Got quotes from a few places and basically it’s 1k. Underseal plus cleaning up the arches and respraying.

Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks, do you mind letting us know how much it costs for your undersealing?

Carl @ CBS Autos does not do welding any more, but there is also Pro bodyworkz thats highly recommended this side of the UK with these.

That rust on the arch lip is superficial, providing it’s just confined to the very edge it’s easily doeable.
If you don’t want a complete strip back of the paintwork in that area you can treat the rust and paint over it.
I ground away the edge on mine treated the rust and repainted it myself. I put an extra layer of epoxy mastic before painting, can hardly see the join as they say.

I’m based in Bromley as well. I took my 2006 NC 2.0 for an underseal to the MX5 restorer to get the underseal done in mine last October. I have to say they made an impeccable job. And the quote I got was around £400.
