Steel fabricators?
Does anyone know of someone who can fabricate something(s) from Steel? I've emailed 2 steel fabricators local to me and had no reply from either...

You don't need a fabricator, they work on 5mm plate up. You need a panel beater.

I`d say someone within the body/panel department not your average steel worker

making panels from sheet steel is a hugely specialised job IMO cant be that many people that still even know what an "english wheel" is, never mind use one.............

A half-decent bodyshop would do it, but it won't be cheap, sadly.

Why not just have the rust cut out and patches welded in rather than replace the whole quarter?

From what I've read on here it can still return.

It can, but not if it's cut right back beyond the rust, ie: done properly.
