Can anyone recommend someone decent for rust repairs and restoration in or around South Yorkshire/North Derbyshire/North Nottinghamshire?
Ideally someone who's happy making up their own repair panels etc. and isn't expensive ...

Good body repair is expensive as a general rule because it's such a pain in the  to do it right I know - I had some good work done by some guys in Dronfield (trading as Tinkerbells I seem to remember) a few years back, but they don't seem to be around any more. Phil |

Volvo 262C - scuttle, C-pillars, arches, door bottoms, spare wheel wells and a few other minor bits and pieces ...

I'd deffo go down the welder, sheet metal, angle grinder and portable garage route if you are short of any of the above. I don't do bodywork for customers as my welding isn't at the sort of standard I'd deem necessary but there's a fair amount of work there that probably more than equals the value of the car if you want it done well  Just my opinion like |

It's time more than anything (although my welding is, shall we say, not the best).
Re value - I agree, which is why I need someone cheap and good ...
