bodyshell overhall


Recommended Posts

I am trying to find the best place in the UK to get the body shell of my mk3 golf vr6 sorted and fully resprayed ? its a 5 door and it needs the following repaired - rusted sills , sections of floor pan, rust at door rubber joins, possibly a bit of rust on the arches 

 

 

 

i am keeping the car for sure i just need advice on the best place to sort this out in the UK 

 

 

 

After trying a few places I came up with CBR who sounded fairly decent http://www.cbrmotorbodies.co.uk/classic-car-restoration/

 

 

Cheers

and would it be worth the extra money getting the shell dipped by somewhere like Enviro strip/ SPL instead of it going straight to the workshop as it is? 

 

these are the guys I have been in touch with 

 

 

Enviro strip - http://www.envirostripukltd.com/

  • Paint & rust removal / inhibitor - £895
  • At this point i would need to take the car elsewhere for welding
  • 2pk whole vehicle - £395

They admitted the process SPL offer but is more through but a lot more expensive

 

SPL - http://www.surfaceprocessing.co.uk/index.html

  • Paint & rust removal / inhibitor - £845
  • At this point i would need to take the car elsewhere for welding
  • After any repairs vehicle dipped to clean - £450
  • Electroplating of whole vehicle - £1800 

This is more like a factory process and if I'm going to be going to this extent the electroplating would probably be best be to protect all the cavities from rusting
