Hi, pretty much a bone of contention here and a big decision.
I took the car to a few places for quotations, some turned up their noses due to the age of the car others were prepared to relish the opportunity.
so, 
One company, £2000.00 plus vat, including paint
Another company, £1800.00 plus vat, including paint
Another company, £720.00, less paint, Paint shop was £160.00
Fred in the shed £350.00 all in.  But the shed was dire and no paint booth.

The other decision was to scrap it as the car is probably worth £ 600.00-£1500.00 tops. However, had from new and just 51K miles on the clock, so decided to plumb for option 3. 
Some of you will say that the cost was not worth it, but to me the car is priceless, and while I can afford these set backs, I will keep it on the road.
The sills are still good, the closure panels have been renewed with thicker gauge metal and solid, and the paint job, down to the quarter panel is spot on.
so, I wonder what the next problem will be? Only time will tell.
By the way, the mud flaps will not go back on!
