Recommendations for T3 bodywork in Cheshire

Post by mattjarvis »

Evening All,

Looking for any recommendations for someone to look at some bodywork on my Westie in Cheshire or thereabouts. Nothing major I don't think, just the standard bubbling seams and a cab step that appears to be made out of fibreglass !

I feel you will find that the bubbling will reveal a lot more than you think.
Bubbling on the outside will mean significant rot on the inside.

Time to save up for your bottomless money pit.

Rotted steps can be quite an easy fix.
Seams on the other hand............

1987 Electrics and a DJ engine.
Maybe one day I might get it finished
