Body preparation and welding

Post by exminiman »

Looking at having shell welded and prepared for paint after being stripped - could put with local guys, but is there any one who is a recommended specialist?

Happy to bung on a trailer and deliver to them, i am based just outside Reading

Cheers :bow:

I'd recommend our Technical Officer but he's based in Lincolnshire and busy!
