Repairers North Yorkshire area.

Post by Hinesy »

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend any repairers in the North Yorkshire area to carry out some welding repairs on my 87 panel van.

I have photos I can forward on.

Work (from what can be seen) to include

Both front arches and steps.
O/S outer sill (seam is good just a hole in the bottom edge)
Lower part of o/s rear arch and quarter.
Repair to n/s rear arch (dent not rust).
Few patches to both inner rear wheel arches, around 40x20mm and a repair behind the rear o/s quarter.

I'm fully aware these vans (this is my 3rd) can have a lot of hidden nastys but from initial inspection all jacking points are solid as are the inner sills etc, seams are OK bar where the front arches join the b pillars and the o/s rear arch meets the bottom of the quarter, basically the areas where the holes are. Rust seems to be mostly contained to the outer panels.

Panels I have (all AH schofield).

All 4 complete wheel arches.
Front inner steps.
Lower b pillars.
Centre sill repair panel (with correct seam).
Lower o/s quarter panel repair panel.

Looking for panels fitted, seam sealed and into primer. No paint.

Just to mention, as it seems to be a popular reply to these sorts of posts, I don't want to do it myself. 🤣 I don't have a garage, a welder, or skills. I'm lucky enough (or not) to have endless overtime available at work so would rather work doing what I do best to pay someone to do what they do best.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Aren't Brickwerks near you, I would think they would know someone.

Brickwerks are at the western side of Yorkshire, close to the Lancashire / Greater Manchester border.

Maybe one day I might get it finished
