All - I have a mini that is at the point for sanding, paint and mild body work and currently is at a really good body-shop now. Problem is that there is very little movement on the project due to a rash of reasons with the business and I think it may be time to move on (which is a shame as they do really great work). Looking at 14 months now with just some basic media blasting to engine bay and wheel wells.
Honestly - I have spoken to the owner of the shop and we have looked at all the areas that need some TLC, and it really is in good shape.
I just need to find someone here or find a rec for a good good body shop in Georgia (Atlanta) who knows these cars well (especially on the panels/doors, etc) who can start and get this done. I have a budget and just ready to move forward.
And yes, if my work was not so much busy this year, I would do this myself - but just need this done correctly.
Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. Hit me up here on this thread or shoot me a message (peter_son /-\T yahoo d0t c0m).

I would say get in touch with WilliE B on here he is from that neck of the woods.
Bluepotato, have you had any luck yet? Any updates?
If not, I know this is a stretch, but I'm in the Southeast part of Virginia if you think you'd need to go that far to "git er done".
Don't let the quote scare you, I'm not a silly redneck, I've been in the auto body trade for better than 40 years, and have the means to help you if your interested.
shoot me an email john_santiago90@yahoo.com

Digging the color choice. Going to look great when it's all done. 4.gif
Looking good...what's that color called?
That is the old faithful, BMC Tweed Grey. I fell in love with this color long ago and stops me dead in my tracks when I see a mk1 or mk2.
