Anyone have any recommendations for someone to do engine work, machining/rebuilding 4 cylinder triumph and a good bodyshop/spray.

Not "between", but you could have a chat with Ross Dallas, Rossco's Engine Services Ltd cnr Hobson & Stafford st Feilding ph 06-323 8446
He does great work with reconditioning engines. be aware however that you just take the engine to him, not the whole car.
Cant help with the paint job, sorry

I would go for B&H in P North. Couple of old school guys, know British stuff inside and out.
Best place would be Engine Restorations in Keepa street Levin.They can probably help organise panel and paint.also.Otherwise See Murray Robinson at The Shed in Foxton.He does a lot of work on vintage cars as well as Hot rods.Good work at a reasonable price

Cheers guys, Given the location i might have to give The shed a good look.
I'd heard good things about BH as well, but at least now i have a couple of options.

Wouldint waste your time with anyone other than Collier's in Levin or Rossco's in Feilding! they are by far the best 2 in the area

Whoa man,thats heavy noise, you sound like a restorer scorned. Engine restorations in Levins Keepa st, is run by one very clever dude and his brother is there doing full auto restorations as well, they are fussy,clever people.
