Recommend a garage/mechanic?

ianbstag · 8th September 2015, 21:10

As per the title really, I/m looking for someone to fit my newly acquired powerfolds.

I've got the looms (Thanks Wullie), and a pair of mirrors, but I'm lacking in the skills/tools/patience to actually get the job done.

Can anyone recommend a garage or mechanic within striking distance of Mansfield who I can trust to do the job?

I'm happy to pay the going rate, it's just I'd rather give my business to someone known to the forum.

Thanks for reading

Will do! I've dropped an email over to Austin Garages, so we'll see what happens over the next few days. I'll update the thread with any news.

An hour? I'd need a full day at it, about six gallons of tea, at least a dozen elastoplasts and two packets of Marlboro. and I'd finish the day convinced the car looks better with no mirrors, and who needs doorcards anyway

Lol, its not that bad, easier if there is two to help remove and refit the door as the wire is not long enough to allow you to place the door on the ground while disconnecting the plug in the base of the A pillar.
