Default ABSOLUTLY GUTTED

About 6 weeks ago i discovered we had a birds nest in the roof. I was gouing to block the hole up as the birds were going in and out through the roof tile's. My wife said leave it till the baby one's have flown the nest. I thought ok, bless the litle chicks, i will leave it for a while. What a mistake that was. I came out to go to work tonight and the little chicks had grown up so much that they dislodged a tile whilst flying the nest and it crashed down on the front wing of the Scooby. The parents had not been content with just craping all over the car as they brought them food back so they could reach this enormous size, they felt that they had to leave a mark as well. I now have a six inch long deep gouge in the front wing. Just in time for the summer. Thnks you sweet little fat chick's

Default GOOD panel beater.

Does anyone know a good panel beater. The scratch has gone through to the paint work. I still need to get the bonnet done and the trolley dent as well. I booked it in to a place in laindon 3 weeks ago and the place had shut down. So i need to get them all done properly.

Thanks
