Northern Ireland Recommendations??

Hi guys,

First time poster here, recently emigrated from England to County Down (those NI girls!), and come with some baggage - namely a '94 1.8 Eunos. He needs a fair amount of work done (more to come on that in the 'Big Projects' section!), but most urgent of all are the sills and arches which will need cut out and replaced before they fall out. Firstly, anyone here had that joyous experience, and what were the results like? Secondly, can anyone recommend a good bodywork fella up to the job? I should stress that I want a really clean job done, not just a patch up. Had a look on the MX5 NI website, but not a lot of info to be found there!

Many thanks in advance,
