    Thanks to South West Restos

    Just back from another 1000 mile road trip down to James at South West Restos, left at 4.30 pm Friday and got back 2 am this morning.

    Cant thank or reccomend James enough, he came out at silly o'clock to start on my car so that he could get it done in a shift so as i could get back up the road.

    Whilst i was there i had a good look round the other cars he has in the workshop, some of which are on this site. The workmanship is second to none and done by an enthusiast. Look forward to watching the progress of them on here as well as your own car when you get on with it James, it looks like it will be a cracker!

    If anyone is looking at getting their car restored or some fabrication work done give James at South West Restos a phone.

    Cheers,auld

    That's how people get good reputations ,,,and people like us are willing to travel to have work done on our cars no matter how far the the place is ,, his work does always look spot on putting the customer first is going to go a long way,,and you can be a good advert for his business for traveling that far to go to him

    Re: Thanks to South West Restos

    Thanks guys, means a lot all your comments, have been going for 3 years in July, has been hard work but seem to be getting established now, I only use this forum as it is a really friendly site and Facebook.
    I always reply to questions that people pm, advise is free, I am very lucky to be able to do a job I really enjoy and don't mind helping people out!
    As for Auldy, we meet at 4.20am so that we could do 10hrs so he could go back the same day, he was on the road again by 4pm, we didn't even take it off the trailer!
    Once again thanks for the comments,
    Cheers,
    James

    I am saving up thinking of letting them loose on my shell, I cant get the motivation or time. Work is always excellent
