lol.. I gave up trying to find mates to do bodywork years ago. Them that'll have a go are terrible and them that are any good are always busy.
That said I always get a mate to do my brakes and do the mechanical stuff myself so its not all bad.

Its the time of year Bev.
Do you enjoy working on old cars in a tent this time of year or do you prefer the warmer weather :)
Cheers

my " friend " using the term loosely now! is a professional welder ( out of a job ! ) lives 5 doors down, he was very keen on doing it, i even took him when i brought the car, and he said it was no problem. And that he was looking forward to getting on with it. im not afraid to have a go, and i dont expect it for nothing, but when i am out there, he will briefly come up, say " hows it going?" then wonder off?!!! :roll:

my mother is even cowering now, as i asked her to recover my seats for me...but on second thoughts, she started to knit me a jumper when i was 9, she dug it out the other day, it had no sleeves, so resembled a tank top, 19 years on im still waiting!

People often offer, because they think it,s never going to happen! It very often doesn,t!

Get your professional welder friend to give you some lessons, then do the car yourself!
