fishmaestro 10 Posted October 12, 2011 Anyone know a good bodyshop in the N.E for small rust areas, scratches and paint matching. Possibly looking at getting the back arches rolled as well. Any info cheers Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chigmuss 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Try paul at Heaton Coachworks on Rothbury Terrace, Newcastle. He's not the cheapest but his work is top notch (Lotus repair centre) 01912760999. Or try Ian (aka Chunky) at Foxhunters lane Whitley Bay, he used to work for Paul and his work is also good I've heard although I've never used him- his no. 07906906383 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishmaestro 10 Posted October 12, 2011 Nice one I will look into it next week. What sort of work have u had done or seen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fin2982 10 Posted October 12, 2011 he did have a burgundy rado in there a few months ago....but all the work ive seen on my deliveries there has been top notch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chigmuss 0 Posted October 15, 2011 Sorry fella hadn't kept an eye on the thread, but as I said above Paul is superb, I've had panels on a 911 and a S2 elise and vw bumpers done by him, all perfect. Like I said, Paul isn't cheap but you really cannot fault his work. I think if you pitched up at his place you'd immediately realise that and the big Lotus sign hanging over the place speaks volumes. Not be cheeky or owt but if you are after a two penny job for something you aren't fussed on keeping long there's a garage opposite the Police Station on Clifford Street (parallel to Shields Rd, Byker) proper back street sprayers, dirt cheap but way down on quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fin2982 10 Posted October 15, 2011 Ive seen all sorts in the worshop, from ferraris to skodas. Ive seen a wide variety and all the work has been top notch. think I may have enough to get mine resprayed there lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishmaestro 10 Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the responses, I am looking for top quality and not just a bodge just a matter of how much. Not had much to do with resprays so no real idea on what to expect. I'm back in the area next week and pass through newcastle. I'll call in on the way down and ive taken a note of his number.

Heaton Park Coachworks 10 Posted October 19, 2011 thanks for the plug for Heaton Park Coachworks - our work is top notch- but can I just say that the Ian you mention at foxhunters lane is not the same Ian that has worked for me for the past 16 years - he's still here & working very hard ! Just wanted to clear that one up. Cheers, Paul Quinn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
