bodywork - Midlands area

Post by **Pen** » 05 Jan 2007, 19:14

Hi all
I have an Autosleeper Trident 1989 that I recently bought. It's fairly rusty and needs quite a bit of bodywork that I cannot do myself. Can anyone recommend a bodyshop within an hour of North Staffs please? That would include Merseyside, Cheshire, Shrops, Derby, S Manch, N Bham etc
Thanks a lot

Not likely really, he repaid me a tenner so he's probably lying down for while

The bu66er sent a card with it that said "have left the payee blank so you can just put Baxter's name stright on it" cheeky git.

Oh BTW welcome, have spoken to Colin (the paint man of which Jed speaks) about mine and he seems a decent fella, going for a quote from him in a week or so (got 1 getting 3), will let you know what he says as mine needs a fair bit of work.

Cheers, Paul

Cheers Paul
Please keep me informed!

Hope Kev soon recovers from his pocket-emptying!

If you listen carefully out of your window you may even be able to hear him sobbing

If you meet Kev at a camping do you will realise that this is a wind up as he is a really good bloke, but don't tell him I said so.

You guys crack me up

I am reeling from the £10 financial loss, but Pauls ambition to fund Baxters lifestyle is a noble one..

help?....Certainly can ...it's
C&D Refinishers
UNIT 5 WATERY LANE INDUSTRIAL
ESTATE WATERY LANE
WILLENHALL
WEST MIDLANDS
WV13 3SU

prices start from £700 for one colour inside and out ,windows out, etc
call them and a word of advice ....tell them exactly what you want at the viewing and it would help if you have a picture of what you want.

Shepsters van got done too

PS cash is cheaper but it takes a bit longer

Thanks everyone!

This is our little van

It needs quite a lot of work removing rust and filling and probably new wheel arches and maybe panels too, before a re-spray.

The pictures of C&Ds work are impressive. Would they do all the prep too?

Post by **kevtherev** » 06 Jan 2007, 20:50

yes thats an inclusive price including the roof.

Colin has been spraying trucks and vans for 18 years

one other thing these guys are sprayers not welders. so why not let him tell you whats required for panel replacement,

you may have to source the decals though.

when you call say kevin told you about them...

Cheers Kev- I'll contact them soon. That all sounds great and certainly their work looks fantastic.
