Have Car Need Restorer!

[Guest Roger]

Hi To all,

 

I have an '84 1.6 cab that my now deceased father bought new when he retired. It has covered only approx 60k miles (as I recall), and was serviced regularly until the point at which he had to give up driving in approx 2004. For the next 2 or 3 years, I kept it running and had it serviced and mot'd (-no major issues but some superficial rust in the usual places)until approx 2/3 years ago when on starting it up, the exhaust had obviously given up to the extent that it sounded like a tractor, and since I was in a rush at the time, I just put it in the Garage where its sat ever since.

 

I have now decided I would like to get it back up and running, but having neither the time (-I spend 2 months out of every 3 out in Saudi Arabia) nor the expertise to do this myself, I'm looking to find a specialist who could undertake this on. - The mechanicals shouldn't be too much of an issue and my local independant (-who know the car having serviced it for my father for many years)could probably get it running without too much needing doing, and I don't believe there's too much rot that will require attention, but the paintwork (-being Red)could do with attention. I'm in no desperate rush to get it all completed,but feel its a good time to put a few feelers out to see if anyone can recommend a bodyshop/restorer close to where I live (South west Surrey near Farnham/Guildford).

 

Thanks for any assistance.

Roger
