Restoring a Ph1

[Rob669]

The people who were going to restore my Ph1 172 (ALSA in South Wales who look after one of the BTCC cars) can't do it now due to illness so I need someone else instead to do it. Has anyone else restored a Ph1's body back to a high standard and therefore has a good place to recommend. It doesn't need to be in Wales, but they do need to be good.

I had about 20 phase 1s
Depends what you want to do & what the budget is...

 

[Rob669]

Restore the bodywork so it's rear arches and the front bumper (both sections), then straighten the bent sills where they collapse on jacking and re-shultz the underside.

How are the sills looking inside the rear quarters? If its rusted like most of them have now it would be a shame to not get them done at the same time

I'll get it all done, I just need to find somewhere good who will do it. One place I took it to said they'd fit box sections to it like a 5 Turbo, needless to say I declined!

 

[R-Sport.]

If that were me I would take it to Mark fish.

If I still had somewhere I'd have done it!

Should of said yes as the box section would've strengthened the jacking points.
