Hi can anyone recommend a panel beater to fix a couple of bits on my bug?  Looking for someone with the old school skills to straighten the metal not cover it with filler.

Preferably west london but willing to travel for the right guy.

Thanks

Cheers tom I'd be interested in talking to those two.  Yes it's getting fresh paint,  it was a mess anyway and my attempts at fixing it haven't made it any better.

Met Darren yesterday, he's gonna fix and paint my bug.  Feels so good to meet someone who's ideas match my own. 

Thanks again for the heads up Smiley

Yeah he's cool and knows what he's doing and how to do things right. Can't believe he's only 2 miles from me, would have saved me £££s and a load of hassle to have known him before now.

I'll mention you to him when i see him again next week.
