As a company its our policy to keep our clients informed of the process of the welding restoration to there vehicle with photographic evidence and inviting out clients to come in at any time during the welding process. The photos show how panels have been welded on to excisiting corroded areas wi


A short week!!
With Paddys Day it was a short week, there was no let up on the the NCT and CRVT failures. We started a new project on a VW Beetle, after removing the filler on the outer panels we found that the Beetle had many repairs making look similar to a patch work quilt. So we have now order the repair panels to remove all the repairs and replace with new complete panel sections, this is in addition the the replacement floors and heater channels!

Not to mention our normal NCT and CVRT failures, we also continued with our long term project a Citroen SM.

Full diary of work!!
As the week started we had a full diary with CVRT and NCT repairs, we finished another long term job as we moved on to a E30 325i with bulkhead issues. One CVRT failure was a VW transporter T4 with inner and outer sill issues, this has been a common issue in recent months. We now look forward to this week with a pathfinder requiring chassis work, a Pajaro with inner arch repairs and more NCT failures to get through!!


Another Productive Week
With the rain still with us, we managed another productive week by finishing our long term project, an M3 BMW. We also had many NCT & CVRT failures. the Highlights being a 2000 Ford Escort and a 99 Mitsuoka Viewt, from a small Japenese manufacture.


Another Wet Week!!
This week was a little shorter with the Bank Holiday, but the work did not let up with some interesing jobs. 2 Toyota Landcrusiers required to have its rear boby mounting brackets replaced and a plate welded behind the rear shock absorber mount., NCT failures for a Honda CRV, Mazda MX 5 and several CVRT failures. We also started an old classic by fabricating new outer and inner siils.... we are hoping the weather improves to start on this really good example of an old Ford Cl


Wet week but the vehicles kept coming
After a very wet week we had many vehicles that needed attention, one that had a common problem was a Ford Transit needed repair work to the rear chassis due to bulging. We have two options for repairing these areas, firstly plating over the area concerned or fabricating a U channel. The former is the most commonly required by CVRT testers.


Another Busy Week
After a wet week for us all, another busy week at Reactive Welding. We completed several interesting projects such as the BMW 6 series, Nissan ZR 300 and a Isuzu Trooper. We also have another 2011 Polo requiring replacement sills that we will be doing this week. Nissan ZX 300 Isuzu Trooper 2011 VW Polo sill replacement
