kidcos Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sorry if it's in the wrong section! Does anyone recommend or know of a good ford friendly body shop in northampton, bedford or Milton Keynes area? I'm looking for someone to weld, paint and restore my 1300e back to a rolling shell? I have approached a couple of local body shops and they are only interested in the paint work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Are Capri Care MK still going in Milton Keynes? I don't think they do bodywork themselves but they're bound to know the good from the bad in the area. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/capriclubmkeynes/capricaremk.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP. Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not sure if Phil from Capri Care is still in business, Haven't seen him in years and last update from his website i: Last updated: April 5, 2007. He might be back down under ( Nw Zeeland as he had plan's to years ago ). As far as I know Phil did the bodywork himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
