Hi

I'm looking after a Mark 1 restoration project that's ground to a halt with my current general motor trade suppliers.

It's currently a rebuilt bare metal shell with all the mechanical bits but some missing trim.  I'm looking for a specialist larger company that can complete a quality restoration in an agreed time, ideally in the next 2-3 months and preferably in the same workshop. I'm considering Minispeed- anyone used them for a similar project, or recommend others similar in the south east? Thanks in advance, and I'll provide feedback when complete.

I wouldn't take it to 'Tupers', you need to be careful with Mintec, they have 4 CCJ's against them currently...

freaker thanks. Mintec's too far from me in Kent anyway. Scott, I visited your works last Tuesday shown round by James. Reasonably impressed but I wanted more opinions from the community before committing big money- obviously I've also been checking your feedback on TMF and other forums.
