Hey all , I want to send my 323i for a full respray this summer, was hoping fellow E21 owners could recommend reliable, and obviously top quality garages/ body shops. I'm based in West London. Appreciate your input guys

Hi Vic,

Not quite West London (I'm based in Kingston, South-West London), but I would highly recommend Eric at Bodycraft. He's based in West Horsley and did some fettling on my E21, I hope to save up and have a full bare metal resto/respray done by him in the future. His work really is top notch, he works on lots of high end stuff and loves his E-Type Jags!

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Thats really helpful Kam, appreciate the recommendation! I'll call him and ask if its something they'd be interested in. I'll keep the group posted how it all goes

Planning a full body respray. I had the front end and engine bay, boot and arches were done and rust removed in 2018 when I had the car stripped to bare shell. Was so much easier, but I should have got the full car done earlier just couldn't find a reliable bodyshop, most are only interested in insurance jobs.

Thanks Kam

Not sure if you're still looking, and it's quite a distance from you, but Retro Car Clinic in West Yorks have done a fantastic repair and respray job on my car at a very reasonable price. You can see pics of their work in my build thread here viewtopic.php?t=16709&start=75
