Help! Mechanic required for old Ford

[Beanoir]

So my 4 year project XR2 has come to a point where the entire car has been restored and engine re-built with all new parts, I took it back down to Essex to have the car RR tuned now it's done 500 miles on the new engine and apparently it's spun a bearing so they are (rightly so) reluctant to put it on the RR.

I'll go and collect the car tomorrow but i'm looking for a garage or mechanic local to me that can have the crankshaft out, probably get it reground and have new bearings put in. I'd do it myself but i clearly screwed it up last time!

I'm a bit gutted and down on this, so just looking for any recommendations of a local place that could do this kind of work, somewhere around the Hitchin area.

Cheers

Cheers Andy, the car is back sitting in my garage for the time being so just waiting for the right pair of hands now.

Ha, its Matt I know, one of my best mates

The advice i got was Carbs are to old school for their set up these days and they recommend Northampton Motorsport , which might be closer then your old contact
