Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I own a 1979 mini, which I had part restored in 2015. The last major restoration was in 2005. I’ve finally managed to get the Mini home in 2022 (after long term storage in a garage 9 miles away) but lurking under some suspect crunchy under seal are some rather tired sills, that need replacement.
Sadly historic cancer treatment has now left me with the inability to repair it myself. (The mind is willing, but the body is not!).
My local go to Mini specialist has closed down, so I’m left with no real idea who to approach.
I have found one local person, but they are fully booked for over a year. I can wait, but no idea what’s around the next corner in the challenges of life!
So, On the off chance, can anyone recommend someone in the Kent area that they know of, or have used for body repairs?
Thanks.

Couple of options if you are near Medway:

Altered Image Coachworks in Strood: https://alteredimagecoachworks.co.uk/

ML Motorsport in Higham: https://www.mlmotorsport.net/

Not personally had bodywork done by either but have been to both and seen the quality of their work.

Palmer Works is also very good if you're in Kent.

Ref the above-Josh is on this forum. I haven't had any body repairs done but I have seen his work and bought many parts from him. Definitely recommend.

Thanks for the above comments guys. The OP has already been in touch and despite being ridiculously busy I am hoping that I can do the work for him :)

Hi yes, thanks for the reply’s, all of you.
I’m looking forward to waiting my turn and getting my mini in front of Josh!
