Have decided that I love my B too much to sell it and am spending some serious cash to get it sorted. Mechanically it is fine and I have sorted a hard top which I am just renovating. However, it is rusting like crap around the rear wheel arches. Had one side sorted and welded etc, however, not happy with the paint job. Need to get the other wheel arch sorted. Have decided to do a road trip to a certain guy in Holland to get a replacement unit rather than try and have lots of welding work done. However, I could do with recommendations re a decent body shop repairer/spray shop near N W London. Also where is the best place to get some cans of spray paint to do a bit of touching up on the inside of the hard top? Code 647 Steel Grey.

Hi Soody. Good to hear that you're keeping your Barchetta. Sounds like you have some work to do though. You can get the spray paint on eBay. Keep us updated with your progress! Steve

I found this site very good for paint: http://www.vernicispray.com/index.jsp?lang=en

Ahhh passenger side inner wheel arch replacement - brings back some painful memories. Cut hands, burnt hair and skin !!!!!!

Shaved head means that burnt hear would be limited to that on chest and hands! To be honest, don't have the time to do it myself. Have a house extension and a wedding to deal with... maybe I am taking on too much!
