Default Wheel repairs

Looking on other threads a few people have had damaged wheels repaired.
My two fronts still hold air but the rim lips are damaged.
Can anyone recommend a good repairer?

Same guys have done 3 sets of wheels for me.
Very happy with the results, price and service.

Settle down... I didn't damage any of them myself. Promise!

Hey Gav, glad to see you're out and back on the horse so to speak. Now comes the harrowing task of putting it back together.

Who knows, it might actually come out the other side painted

I'm formulating a plan on how to move forward.
It is going to be a very different car when it is rebuilt.
The engine will be the same but that will be about it.

Not sure on the manual, but I would be telling porkies if i said I hadn't thought about it.
The hard top will stay, it saved my life.
It will probably only be good for a mould now though.

Gav by the time you use it as a mould, make 20, sell them all to CC members and are out driving your rejuvenated beast I'll still be waiting to get mine out of Backdraft!

I've had several wheels repaired (on another car) and they invariably crack at the repair and I end up buying a new one anyway. From now on if I have a cracked rim I'll just suck it up and replace it with a new one.

Mizzi was thinking a confederate flag on the roof of the new top would be appropriate!!!
