Back from respray

[valhalla]

Just had to tell you about the front end respray that i have had done on our T350c I am so pleased with the job that i must recommend this guy.
He is based in Braintre Essex, nearly sixty years old(sorry Ian),"Many a good tune played on an old fiddle" my granddad used to say
And is famed in the area for his fantastic custom paint jobs that he does on minis.
When i first took the car for a quote on the repair. He was pointing out blemishes in the original paint that i could not even see!!
So i knew he was the bloke for the job. We have just collected the car, and i'm totally gob smacked with the quality of his workmanship.
I hope its not wrong to recommend someone on here.
The guys name is Ian Goodchild, and his company are called 'Auto Body Care(Essex).
www.mini-autobodycare.co.uk not checked out his site yet, but i bet its full of Mini's
Please mention me if you do contact him (Dave Smith)Yellow T350C

I've used Specialised Paintwork near M4 J12 Reading (behind Porsche UK if you're local). They did a nose job on my Chimaera with great results. I got a quote from them for a nose job on the T350 to include replacing the lens covers. I'll supply the paint (when TVR come back from hols) and the headlight lens covers (got them already), the cost was around 850 pounds for the whole front end. (Plus the paint/parts.)
