Bodywork issues

Post by Paz0274 » Sun Oct 06, 2019 12:35 pm

Hi everybody

My first foray into Bongo ownership. Picked up my 1997 last week (low kms @ 97k). Mechanically sound but the bodywork is cosmetically challenged.
Trying to buff the paintwork to get it reasonably presentable. Discovered a dent with cracked paint. Rubbed it back to discover that there has been a major knock in the nearside rear on the corner. It is full of filler and needs a decent repair. I’ve also discovered rot in the A pillar on the nearside (under the gutter) which has a small hole.

Can anyone recommend a decent body shop in Oxfordshire/Northants where this could be sorted please?

TIA
