a common newbie question..

[Asw]

Hi, we have just, in a moment of weakness, bought a slightly battered T25. The body needs some minor welding, a bit of rust treatment and a re-spray.. So the most common question, and the most unanswerable.. we live in East Yorkshire, can anyone point us to a good body shop?

I thought they ALL needed welding, rust treated and a re-spray

If it only needs "a bit of welding", "some rust treatment" and a respray I wouldn't say that was a moment of weakness I would say that's a good buy

I bought one of those.
It was described as £4500, rust free.
Well,I suppose the rust might have been free, but there wasnt much metal for my £4500.
Enjoy !

No idea on bodyshops in Yorkshire, sorry.
Dont get disheartened if you take it to a "non T25 friendly" bodyshop, most of those dont want to know because they make more money from car park dents in Ford Fiestas, so they may well tell you its a rust bucket and not worth the effort.
Happened to me.

What he gives he takes away.. body is truly not to bad... engine.....I’m sure there is something that doesn't need replacing.. ah yes some kind sole has replaced the fan belt.. this would not have helped!!!
