If you don't mind visiting sunny Middlesbrough then we have [B]Pride 'n' Joy Classics[/B] there.
One of the best reputations in the area as they do work for many dealerships. Give them a ring on 01642 244133 and ask for Terry.
I don't have anything to gain from this, but he is my dad. I honestly think he's one of the few real perfectionists I've ever known, to the point where it can be a real pain.
Hope this helps.
Tony.

Garden Lane Garage just off commercial Road in South Shields are ok.

I just had them strip and spray my Corvette. It's not a top class job, but it's good. I guess it's depends on your circumstances, but at the moment I'd rather spend £500 and have a good, clean paint job rather than spend £3000 and have something that is a little better.

If you're passing Shields anytime and you want to have a look at the job on the 'vette then drop me a line.

Tony, I rang your dad (nice bloke, tho shocked when I name dropped ), but 'boro is a bit far away to get a quote unfortuantely.

I popped into the place around the corner from me (which I never knew existed until today) and they'll do a fair bit of work for £226 + the bit that is currently getting made.

I need a new Pc as well

Student Loan, come ere!

Heaton Park Coachworks is supposed to be good, as is the place next to it. I can get the number if you want Stefan as they're at the end of my road.

If you were a "real man" (like all you ToVaRich owners claim to be - no power steering, ABS, traction control etc) then you would get her an exercise bike!
(Oh - no! She'd probably overtake you!)

Hi

Is he the guy who focuses on classic cars? Based on an industrial estate? Advertises in the Rolls Roye Enthusiasts Club magazine?

Any futher update on body shops please?

I need a good sprayer - the colour of the golden beast is a bit awkward.

TVR Hexham use a company in Hexham, back street type place whom I'm assured are very good - I popped in to get a quote and was promised a call back which never came. I'll try and find the name for you.

edit:: HHC use a company which is behind the Mazda garage which is on the Tyne Mills industrial estate. I'm fairly sure it's Motor Bodies on 01434 603866, but check it's teh right place first. Map Here

I used Wylam Garage which while the owner is first rate, I wouldn't recommend the bodyshop, email me if you want details.

I got the Wedge back from Hexham Horesless a couple of weeks ago and I can't fault the paintwork and fibreglass patching of the job.
