replacing door hinges on s1

[haydenf]

Do any body know where i can get my door hinges replaced within the Newmarket Suffolk area/ east anglia Im not a very good DIY person

[phillpot]

Mmmmm, an electrician who's no good at DIY ? That's a bit worrying!



What's wrong with them, doors "dropped" ?

Door hinges are fiddly (time consuming = expensive) but not complicated, why not have a go?

[haydenf]

Yes the drivers side,I took it to a body shop that do TVR repairs for a well known garage,,they could not do it but used new door pins I supplied.
Every time I work on the car It always go wronge.
Electricain dont have to good at DIY we get some body to do the work for us knock for knock

Thanks BarryS1 but I would still like some one to this properly for me.

I believe Adrian is good at this type of thing... Exactly tvr iirc..

Or one of the tvr body shops live surface and design should be able to do it.

hi Damian have you a nunber and location of these people.

[phillpot]

Adrian @ Exactly TVR is located in Coventry.


Surface and design are in the old TVR factory at Blackpool

You could try Eric Poole and Sons at Claydon near Ipswich.

They do a lot of body work for Kerridges. The work I have had done by them is first class.

They recently did a full re spray on my S3C removing both doors to replace hinges at the same time.

Newmarket to Coventry, about 100 miles?

That's no distance to get a decent job done
