would anyone be able to recommend a trusty panel beater who knows and loves their mr2's who could help me out here. The goal is to keep her on the road
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, Cheers.

Re: maisy's adub
So not so good news for the little adub... She's been going strong until being put under some inspection, and the news is that the front left chassis has been through some real bad damage. I've been told to go to a panel beater who knows his stuff one these machines to get get go or the let go

Re: maisy's adub
Sorry to be negative, I applaud your will to save an AW but it may be better to find another shell because of the cost and repairing a chassis is opening a serious can of worms

Re: maisy's adub
I take the car is still registered?
If so, I would go have a wheel alignment done. If that comes back good, you could consider repairs, as long as there is not any serious rust issue, or the chassis rail needs replacing.
If they cannot get the alignment correct, then you will know there is serious work needed. And that could be costly.
I am told Autolign are good.
Charlie did mention someone on the shore who is good, sometime back.
The big problem only comes if it gets de registered, and someone wants to do new compliance.

Check above as Clawnz has said first.
There is a small panelbeater on Moselle ave in Henderson, that we use with the rallycars, (and the rest of the fleet as well.)
Moselle Paint and Panel. 7 Moselle Ave.
Fantastic work, I Highly recommend.
As I said tho Small shop tho, so you may have to be prepared to wait for a slot to get in.
