Hello all

Can anyone recommend me body shop in the Poole or Bournemouth area (or even slightly further out in Dorset) that is happy to work on older cars.

I have just been working on my Porsche 944 S2 and have noticed a 30mm long split in the offside sill near the rear arch frown. ironically, I was only telling a friend the other day how lucky I had been to get a 944 with such good sills.

I think the rot is very localised so I am hoping that I may be able to get away without replacing the whole sill. I have always given them a good internal coating of Bilt Hamber Dynax every year and have no other evidence of rot so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a couple of other blemishes that I would get sorted at the same time before wrapping it up for the winter. I am looking for somewhere that has a sensible attitude to repairs and does good quality work.

A friend has suggested them but I don't know much about them. Do they have a good reputation.

Somebody else has also mentioned Coltech Classics, who happen to be on the same estate as Trickett Welding. Has anyone heard anything about these?

I can recommend these guys in Wimborne:

They have a very good reputation in the area. We've used them to do some work on my wife's 2009 Polo, but they do a lot of classic work too. Excellent reviews on checkatrade.
