Default Restoration Work Recommendations

Hi
Can anyone recommend a bodyshop who has experience in restoration repairs to the 240?
I don't mind where in the country they are but they must have an excellent reputation and know their way around these cars.
I need some welding work doing to the area of the bulkhead under the bonnet, the lip that traps water that is usually covered with the thick rubber trim.
John Hughes is out of action unfortunately as he is my first port of call as I would trust him implicitly.
I am extremely fussy and don't want just anyone messing about under there!
Many thanks.

I see your point but you are not repairing a DB5. But if that is the level of work you want I have got the best welder in the Country. Charging 350 an hour.
You just need a decent welder, there is always one around your city. It si not really a difficult job and it’s quite easy to make it right.
