T25 bodywork - (north) London - anyone good?

[clift_d]

We've got some corrosion on the offside front wheel-arch by the seat-belt mount on our Westy Club Joker, which we probably need to get fixed before we put it in for it's MOT in a couple of months. It probably needs a welding job i.e. cut out and replace the rusted flat section at the top of the arch, and finish properly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good bodyshop that could do this i.e. someone who understands T25s? Ideally someone local to us in north-east London but we're happy to travel further for a sensitively and properly done job.

Bill at Westgate motors, Westgate st, Hackney. He's seen many a T25, I've seen his work with photos and in the flesh.

Chris Cross Motors in Palmers Green or Beetlemania in Muswell Hill.

Chris is great but much more £ than Bill for resto work.

Just for other's reference, we eventually went to Bill at Westgate Motors - 020 7241 1233 - E8 3RN.

Bill's got an old school garage in several railway arches near London Fields, and they did a nice tidy job replacing the area at the top of our front offside arch, all properly finished for a very reasonable price.
