Recommend a welder for body work in West Mids?

Post by Winchweight »

Hi guys, the Doka needs the front panel welding around the windscreen and behind the deformation panel. Can anyone give a personal recommendation for a welder in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire etc?

A skilled body repairer/panel beater is what you really need...not a welder...sure there was a guy in Crewe called Jim the painter or summat similar...

I have used Manflowers in Evesham, they only do VW campers and are good. Tel 01386 300181 and leave a message on their answering machine - they don't answer because they are so busy.

rowlesy are you based around Worcester.
I think you might have done some work for The Prof a while ago.
After a bit of off road panel damage and rust repairs if you are, we are in Hanley Castle.

Sorry to drop in Shaun. Need to get the van sorted for Norway :ok

Just picked the Syncro up from Rowlesy after having jacking points/ offroad rear arch damage and new offside front arch replacing ready for additional fuel filler for extra fuel tank.
