Hi,
I've got an 02 plate MGF.
I'm looking for a bodyshop in the above area who can do a good job at a reasonable price.
I need some work on rust patches on my rear arches (again) and some general tidying up elsewhere.
The arches have been done once, so might need some cutting and welding done (or so I've been told).
I know it would probably be cheaper to cut my losses and buy another, but I don't want to!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Good bodyshop in West Midlands (or nearby)

No idea on a body shop but you'll pay more for a car that doesn't need this doing sooner rather than later.
