Me too. I live in nuneaton and need some welding doing and a respray when all the bodywork is done.

There is a place called Retro Revival in Fenny Drayton on the outskirts of Nuneaton towards Atherstone CV13 6BL. They restore old and new classics and had a good Website but unfortunately the website has now been suspended (dosen't sound good). Found this description

Specialists in classic Ford's, VW's and 1980's Hot Hatches.

The business carries a large stock of both new and used spares for both classic and performance vehicles. Stocking EBC performance brake components, Bilstein suspension, Piper camshafts and genuine Peugeot 'new old stock' items to name a few.
