Bodyshop recommendations in the South East

[Big Les]

It's time to address the bubbling in the lower rear wings. I gather it's a known area for rust, at the rear of the cills in front of the rear wheel arch. I think the road muck gets trapped between the plastic under-cill and the metal cill. I have investigated and looking at a worst case scenario I will have to buy the wing repair panels from ClubAutoSport and have the panels welded in. These will need spraying in plus there are a few other minor bits of paintwork to be sorted.

Any recommendations for a trustworthy body shop in the south east (I'm in Chichester)?

Thanks

Les

I've used Portslade Panelworks in Portslade

they use to be official Porsche approved but didn't shell out for Cayenne jigs etc so were dropped
very good but not particularly cheap
just had my 911 properly resprayed by them - immaculate
would use them again

Don't be daft! Mr Empson's car will take most of the rest of the decade, and then they'll spend at least a fortnight sweeping the spare rust up.

I'm sure Big Les wants his sills done before the Olympics. (His car will also have turned into a small pile of brown dust if it isn't done by then!)


Oli.

I've seen Peter Empson's thread! I don't think mines anywhere near as bad as that! I've taken the plastic air flow grilles of inside the door frames and had a good look inside and there is no evidence if rust on the inside of the cills. I'm hoping it's only the very bottom of the cill/wings where the road muck has become trapped.

When I get it along to a suitable body shop no doubt they will have a good dig around to establish the extent of the rust.

[] I will admit there was a fairly large pile of rust being swept up at the bodyshop yesterday and that was just from the nearside sill.

I'm not going to comment on the time scale either, as I'm sure I'll only regret it...
