Hello everyone
I'm looking at getting some repairs done to the e21
Some places I'm just not happy with and really bug me,
My main concern is finding someone I can trust to sort out the areas in the best fashion,replacing metal with metal for long lasting repair,I know a lot of you do your own repairs and I'm going to be learning to weld myself but I need someone to do a great job,my questions are
How do you find a good repairer who is going to cut out the metal and put good fitting new metal in asapossed to filling over metal or just bridging it with tempary fixings.
Thanks.

Welcome!
A known problem... when you're looking around they all promise the best possible quality, but what level of quality will really be delivered in the end? Personally I only use businesses that I've good experiences with, of that I've heard good things about from others.
Perhaps you can let us know where you're located? We have members from all across the globe and with a bit of luck someone might just know something not too far from where you're located!
Keep your E21 running, and enjoy the forum! We'll try to be of help as much as possible.
