Bodywork recommendations

BillyMG · 29th May 2021, 19:52

The paint on one of my rear wheel arches is starting to bubble and there's some rust appearing on the sill paintwork too.. Any recommendations on someone who can sort it at a reasonable price? I'm in St Helens

Cheers

Or any guides on doing it myself? Truth be told I'll be looking for a petrol Tourer in a year or so and don't want to be throwing huge sums of money at her

Be very careful with the sills rust spots on the outside usually mean the sill is rotting from the inside and you may end up with a rather large hole! Which is fixable at a cost probably £200-300 depending how bad it is.

This is what Tom Hobbs found on mine and he now considers this the standard state of rear sills he has to do rather than just replace the outer skin

This guy comes highly recommended. He’s done lots of 75s and a lot of owners here have had work done by him. Doesn’t seem to be bad work about him and his work. I’ll be taking mines down to him when the time comes.
