Woodsport bodyshop reopened

Thanks Ian.

Regarding painting over bump strips, i've done that on Mk1s for over 15 years and never once had paint lifting, in fact my cars are so thoroughly prepped that i never get paint peeling anywhere. The laquer completely seals them in anyway so there is no chance of water getting under the paint.

I must have painted dozens of Mk1s in my time and never once had an issue.

Pics from yesterday, polishing has begun....





Roof also painted...

Hi Paul,

What would be the turn around for my wing mirror cases and the door mounting bits? I can send you my side skirt triange for the paint match as well...

[Woodsport]

As mentioned before Alex i cannot guarantee a paint match even if you send me part of the car, old paint is incredibly hard to match, so you would need to take a chance or not bother to be honest, i would do everything to try and match it but there are no guarantees.

Turn around time is 4 days.

Hi Paul.
Are the prices indicated on your website still good for bodywork?
I am looking to have some done and would love to have the work done by someone who knows their way around these cars properly.

Thanks

Chrys

Hi Chrys, as a rough guide yes those prices are close, it really all depends on how much snaps off, how bad the rot is, dents, welding and general pain in the butt stuff there is to do, these old cars are a nightmare, but yes i can help you.

Such a shame that its a 500 mile round trip for me to get it looked at! Id love to have you do it.
Would it be wise for me to take some pictures and send them to you?
I understand if its not worth the risk of long distance estimating.

Cheers
