My 1996 993 needs 2-3 areas of rust to be treated and then re-painted.

Who would you trust to do this work in the West Sussex or Surrey areas?

Ideally, I'm looking for a first rate job at a reasonable cost...

Someone has already suggested SL Restorations in Crawley if anyone knows them? But keen to get other recommendations also.

Can you help?

SL Restoration are in my experience extremely good.

Go see Sam at Impact bodywork which is next to Precision Porsche in Uckfield. Get your chassis legs sorted while there

As you are paying for it yourself, I would recommend Finish First who are a south of Horsham. They did a great job for me that I don't think could have been bettered anywhere, and at roughly half the price quoted by SL. Ben the proprietor is very experienced with Porsche and real perfectionist.

Thanks everyone for your comments - I already have a £4k quote from SL Restorations so these new ideas are welcome. Will definitely try Washington Coachworks and I like the Finish First idea from @Jibaro.

Thanks again.

Hi Victor

I know Phil from Washington very well and he's a top bloke with a good outfit.

If he's good enough to look after a certain Peter Saywell's cars, he's good enough for me (ask him about the recent bonnet job on PS's Zonda wink )
