Can anyone reccomend a body shop in the Bath/Bristol area? I don't mind paying a little more for a really good job. It's time to sort out a little bit of rust:

Hello all, I recently joined the forum, however I've been using this site for a while since buying our 1991 1.6 205 GTI. I'm working on various body repairs, project thread to follow, however I'm looking for some advice on the B pillar and how best to repair it. Our car's B pillar has been cut/corroded away and we're unsure how/if it should join the sill. See below for some photographs. Note the majority of the lower section of the rear quarter panel has been removed. Can anyone advise on how the pillar internal structure should meet the sill (or otherwise?). Any pictures of the area would be much appreciated! Thanks, Andy. P.S. the other side has been bodged by a previous owner so not much of a guide!

My car failed its MOT today and one of the things was corrosion around the rear right jacking point. After a bit of poking and a quick go with the wire wheel on the grinder it turns out the rear few inches of the sill was complete rust. I've cut out the offending rusted part, which is a good 15cm of the sill from the back, and some of the structure behind it including the thicker bit for the jacking point. I've now got to decide what to do next. Could I fabricate some metal to replace the parts I've cut out, or do I replace the whole sill? While I have got a welder, I'm very out of practice and don't want to do more than necessary. How easy is it to remove the whole sill cleanly so a new one can be refitted? Do mobile bodywork welders exist, who can come out and do such jobs?
