professional restoration advice
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2012 4:34 pm
Hello,
I have owned a 1970 2 door saloon for 12 years. Whilst I have spent money maintaining the engine and chassis, it has not had any cosmetic work other than superficial home 'touch-ups'.
It is now in need of new wings, and a previous poor re-spray (before I acquired it) is cracking due to too thick a paint application. Whilst engine and chassis are (relatively) sound, I would like to give it a well deserved make over, which will include new wings, rust treatment, strip down and re-spray at the very least.
I would be grateful for any recommendations of workshops or restorers or warnings of negative experiences. Has anyone any experience of ESM Restorations? I have found them very helpful for parts.
I am in Surrey. Many Thanks,
Louise
