Body shop recommendations for central belt

[A.J.M]

Looking for recommendations for a body shop to take on my Disco 3s exterior restoration.

After being on SORN for 2 years due to a Glasgow based “specialist” leaving it with more faults on leaving the garage than went I handed it over, they killed its dependability and I had to park it up due to other life commitments needing the money. Buying a house during lockdown for example…

Now it’s time to bring it back to life.
I’ve got a new and better specialist to take on the mechanical side of things.
I need a body shop to sort the outside.

Will need rust repairs to sills and back arches, 203,938 miles of use has taken their toll.
The cracked panoramic roof will need replaced as it’s suffered some damage. Plenty of replacements are available.
And finally a full respray in Zambezi silver.

Have already messaged a few but they are either booked solid into 2024, which is great for them, but not ideal for me.
Or they haven’t replied back.

Ideally it would be nice for the work to be done for next summer so I’m not in a massive rush but it’s trying to find someone willing to take on the project.

Already got a mechanical side lined up.

Need bodywork and they don’t have a body shop side.

Another vote for Protek, I've had work done on two cars there, including a full respray of a 911 and found them excellent.
