A friend of mine locally builds and fixes vintage aluminium coachwork. The only downside is that he's usually booked for 12 months+, I can ask him when I see him tomorrow if you like though?

What needs doing?

Yes please

Its been subject to a bodger. A few cracks and rivetted patches want sorting out. The wings and running boards also want fitting properly (they are steel). The body is at a place called Bolas Heath in my storage if he is interested in looking at it. Its solid enough but wants doing properly.

I have an album on facebook which shows it pretty well if you can get that. I'll make it public

Hi
Who ever you use make sure they know that Aluminium has to be insulated from any Steel.

I know of a man near Ashbourne who has made a good job of the Aluminium body of a Triumph Gloria.
