  • Body shop recommendations

    Hello All,

    looking to get the Escort painted. Bit of a mini resto…. I’m based in north London but happy to travel for the right shop.

    I already had one lined up and have been waiting best part of a year for a slot and now he’s gone quiet…

    anywhere south of Birmingham kind of region would be good.

    thanks!

      When I get the funds together I'll be having a chat with this Gavin Pink fella as he's only half an hour from me and possibly about the same for you

              Full respray - I have 1 new passenger wing but struggling to find a drivers…. I’m still hopeful one of my ‘contacts’ is going to come through though. So 2 wings fitted.. I have new rubber seal for boot spoiler…. Few small bits of surface rust, couple of dings…

                  I see from their latest YouTube update that there's an Imperial BT at the paints shop at the moment....... Is it yours ? They take a closer look at the end of this clip

                          Ah, it is yours then.........i'm glad the tip recomendation paid off for you. I was down there recently to speak to Gavin about mine and he showed me your car in the booth just prior to paint and i,ve since seen him spraying it on Youtube and it's incredible.....an absolute masterclass in spraying and the finish is incredible even before polishing ! I think i'd drive it home at 1am when there's no other cars around to flick stones up lol

                            Is your name Justin? I went down to Gavins last weekend to drop some bits off and he said he had a red escort coming in soon…. Wondered if that was you?

                              Julian.....close enough lol. Yeah, just waiting for them to give me a date and then mine will be there......not having as much done as you as he's only doing the front and one side and some work underneath. If money were no object i'd have him do the whole car to the same spec as yours as yours will be amazing when finished !!
