Restorers in Suffolk/Essex

[johnpsanderson]

I’m thinking about taking the plunge on my first MX-5, a Mk2 pre-facelift model which I had a look at yesterday. I know nothing about them more than some a few days online research, but from having a look yesterday there is evidently some rust at the rear end of both sills which will need tackling and I assume it’s better to do this sooner rather than later.

I’m in Colchester, can anyone recommend places in the Essex/Suffolk/Cambridgeshire area that I should be going to for the bodywork?

I would advise taking a bit more time and finding a better car, generally once you cut them open you find a lot more rot that can cost a lot of money to repair.
What may look like innocent rust on a sill usually turns out to be a lot more.
The MX5 Restorer is often recommended for repair work.
