[crimpdoc]

Hi all, hopefully tomorrow I'll be the proud new owner (well new to me) of a Chim, The car needs work - a full respray, new hood, new seats, wheels refurbing and a full service for peace of mind. I've already got some quote's, but it means travelling south again! Can anyone recommend somewere more local to me, I'm from lincoln so any were in the east midlands area were I can get all of the above work done would be great. Thanks

WOW if it needs that much work I sincerely hope it was very very cheap! I went to see one in Essex that was about £1500 below normal money but had had paint stripper poured over all of the body and it had eaten through the paint and into the fibreglass. The owner tried convincing me that a respray would only be £800 and with the rest I could sort out the oil leaks, electrics, hood etc. In all even with a perfect respray it was still a dog.
My car is in Austec as we speak having a repair done on the front end. Its due back tommorow so I will let you know what the workmanship is like but I did take it there on countless recomendations from here so it should be very good!

Or as I understand it, doing it any service work for any customers, new or old
