My '83 mini mayfair is sound as a pound engine wise. But i am in search of a mobile mini/classic car mechanic and welder to advise me of what work and panel need replacing. i have some idea as some of the panels hav simple surface rust nothing too serious however other panels are obviously in need of replacing. if u know of a mobile mechanic/welder that come out and give me a descent quote on the work can u let me know please. im in knottingley west yorkshire! thanks guys!!!!

knottingly so your near brotherton

AWS (Auto Welding Services) the guy did work on my cars when i lived in yorkshire. If you take the old A1 road from what used to be the turn off just near the power station (dont know if u can still access that sliproad now?) and go what used to be north. take next junction, head along towards brotherton and under the little bridge. turn left after bridge into some little units/yard.

Tell him Jordon (friend of Cliff Howe / HoweCool) sent you.

I assume hes still there, been afew years like.

Dog & Duck Yard, Low Street,
Brotherton, West Yorkshire, WF11 9HQ

rough map / directions here: http://maps.google.c...sp=1&sz=18&z=18

afew years ago (8 prehaps) but he did my rear valence + corners + deseamed, boot floor repair, hinge panel repair including prep and paint for £150 ish.

Well.... i found him! After alot of searching lol. the garages in brotherton are no longer there. he is totally mobile now and based in knottingley. he has been out and had a good old look at my little mini and is getting bk to me with a quote on monday. i'll hav to let u know what sort of price he gives.
for all those who need a friendly reliable welder/mini body work this guy is lovely. he was totally honest with me and even told me where i could save myself a biy of money without compromising the quality.
his name is Ricky @ AWS (auto welding services) and is based in knottingley. spot on bloke

I've met Jon at the leeds classic mini owners club. Not had any work done by him but have heard good things about his work. He's also a really friendly guy

If you go on to http://www.lcmoc.com/ you will find him on there. He's based in Wakefield.
