Mk2 Cortina body restoration, recommendations?

[Legacywr]

As title, I'm looking to get the bodywork of my Mk2 sorted.

Any recommendations? It would need to be someone who's prepared to come to me to quote, so, reasonably local.

WHY?

Edited to add, I’m in Southampton

Gavin Pink at the Paint Shop has just done an old Cortina. I saw it on his Facebook page recently.

I have used Brian Chant in Stalbridge for body work on my Mk2 Cortina and was pleased with the results.

The rear passenger door had a small paint bubble which turned out to be the door rusting from the inside out. I could have simply found a replacement door but I wanted it repaired, so he did that, cut out the rot, welded new metal and repainted it. I would defy you to tell which door it was.

Ive used Tiptop in Bishopstoke for a few paint repairs and a couple of total resprays, Ive seen some very old cars in there so cant se a Mk2 Cortina being a problem, last time I went down a few weeks ago they had a Mk1 Escort & XR3i both in for bare metal re sprays

If you call chat to Wayne & say Stuart gave you the contact, if there's 2 hes just custom sprayed my sons Skyline
