This has probably been answered thousands of times.

How can I find Mk1 Specialists around the NW London area??

Thanks

Ha HA! I've kept my eyes open (i think) but never found one. I've ended up doing most work myself, a lot of fun and most of it hasn't been too difficult  :lol: but could really do with decent body shop?? Come on you other N.londoners, any ideas? :?

There are some meets in n.london, check out the regional meet section, then come along  :D

Not specific to Mk1s and not wanting to sound "club gti" like, but there is quite a few Vw modifiers around london way that might be able to advise you (for example Voodoo).  Im based in Bournemouth and dont actually own a Mk 1 at the mo (might change tomorow tho!!) but ive heard good things about them.  Also, if you are willing to travel, wagenwheels in southampton seem quite a reputable Mk1 dealer who might be able to help, or Creative Colour Workshop in Bournemouth.

Thanks all for your help.  Never done any work on a car before and don't really fancy experimenting on my pride and joy!!
Need to get it resprayed and a few rust spots sorted urgently (well as soon as I get some dollar).  How much do you think I'd be looking at??  Also how long does this normally take to strip it completely and do a decent job??
