Who's got a jig?

CVH and Zetec tuning, suspension and braking mods.

I need to have my engine pulled back into position before I start re-building the front end of my fiesta. I live in Reading, does anyone know where I can get cheap access to a jig?

Most bodyshops will stick at car on a jig for £75 + whatever it takes to pull it straight. The only 2 decent bodyshop I know have closed down, I can get in cheap in places in Wallingford as I work there if you`re interested but I wouldn`t recommend them for anything other than jigging as their spray jobs ain`t that good. We use Harveys coackwork on the industrial estate. Problem is they will need to see the car before they can quote..

I live in Didcot and work in Wallingford. Red fiesta turbo. Car doesn`t go out that much as it still needs loads of work doing before the Ford fair. Showcase cinema, whereabouts is that, as I may turn up with a XR2i 16 valve which my mates just got back on the road(mondeo tip spoiler, cossie front)
