Rust directory....

Post by Vrichings » Thu Jul 20, 2023 1:55 pm

Hello,
I can't seem to find the rust directory anymore (maybe it was to do with the server change)
I have a fair bit of welding work (sills etc) that needs doing before my MOT in November and can't seem to find anywhere local to me in East Northants who will take it on. There is also some cosmentic spots that will need attention too.
I used a great guy called Keith at KW Restorations, on the Essex/Suffolk boarder for my wheel arches a few years ago but he seems to have disappeared completely.
Any recomendations would be welcome, I am willing to travel a bit to get a proper job done.
TIA

Thank you, but it is the Body Shops that do weldling that I need.

A search in the forum for Northants found a recommendation for http://www.disctrucks.f9.co.uk/

Plenty of garages do body work as well! I used Discount Trucks - who are in the garage database for my work which was extensive;

There are several others who are well known "body work" shops in the garage list as well.

Discount Trucks were lovely, but won't touch it :-(

That's odd! Maybe they don't have a gap if there is a lot of work to be done ?

There's a national chain called Rustmaster who may be able to help.
