Has anyone used and can recommend a local body shop ? Looking to have the 3000M painted , its fully stripped of glass sunroof etc. The finances wont stretch to TVR specialist prices ,so a basic metallic paint finish 2 pack not expecting a show job just a clean presentable finish.
thanks kev......

Sounds like you are in the same position as me. 2 pack metallic and remove the fittings yourself, and why not.
What colour will it be.

Where are you based ? I'm doing up a 2500M in the same area, would be good to compare notes.

I know a few people who might be able to help you out.

Kev,
What do you expect to pay for a repaint, and will you have done all the body prep (not just removal of components) yourself?

And there's yet more classics in the depths of N Wales.We have a history of pillaging from over the border.I myself have a Grantura nearing completion (as we all know that's probably another couple of years)I,m on the coast in Rhyl and have seen a white Vixen DVY 918K at a local garage,anyone know where that one resides?Rules of privacy the garage wouldn't divulge any details.Regards Baz
