Bodyshop in shropshire/N.wales

[Jonny IX]

the background first......


On buying my car from Xtreme there was a small mark on the drivers rear arch, which Xtreme said they would sort out ......

After a owning for under a year Xtreme's "bodgyness" has come to light all they did was sand down filler up and paint over so rust has now set in from the back of the arch leaving approx 2" of rust on the arch

Now I need to get it sorted ASAP, so I need a decent bodyshop to cut and reweld a new arch, or someone who can get hold of the rear drivers quarter panel and have her sprayed.

Any ideas guys and girls ???

are you near telford? there is a good bodyshop there where my mate took his rx-7 when i was at cosford....... Flawless Car & Bike Body Repair there done a good job as his bonnet flew up and smashed the roof.... looks good as new now, it is reasonably priced but you do pay for a good job there.
and you get 2 year guarantee with them too!!!

Just checked the website and he doesn't do welding, from what I can make out ???

I will need a weld job to cure the rust for good

Ive emailed him and I await the reply

is it rotten through that bad? most body shops will be able to treat the rust and fill and paint over the top.

I think extreme tried to do this but they used a independent bodyshop..who obviously didnt treat the rust, Im not that clued up on rust etc sponners so maybe you could explain the processfor me mate


Im not sure if its all the way through but it has already been fillered and painted, I noticed the paint was bubbling, so I had a poke about and found the rust/filler underneath the bubbles ???

 

[sponners]

just pop it down to a good body shop and let them take a look, I very much doubt it will need any welding done, as long as the rust is treated properly (they use a chemical that turns the rust back into steel) then it will be fine, but it is down to finding a proper bodyshop.


do pant motor bodies still have a good rep?

 

[Jonny IX]

They do and dont ...the usual stories of some good some bad, I may give them a call and see what they can do

Will the rust chemical keep it that way or is it time till it comes back ?

 

[sponners]

rust will be gone for good if treated properly
