It's very hard to find a panel beater that's keen to do resto work. Most want only the creme jobs.

I was very lucky to find one that took my car after i stripped down to bare metal and he did all the repairs and even welded the new radiator support panel on for me. Total cost including paint.....$5,500 in 2 pac.

He also had the car for only 7 weeks including down time over christmas break.

The last time the guy had my car for over 8 months.

Mine looks great! well worth the wait. Rest gets done over the next few days.

I would recomend you get it done in a booth at a spray shop. 2 Pak. It will be worth the $$$ and the wait. Why go to all that work and Money just to "finish it". Looks like the guy has done a good job with the body work. High filled and blocked straight.

Not a problem mate. The main thing you should keep your eyes out before you post, is that each picture has one [img ] tag and one [/img ] tag only, with no spaces. When you understand how the language works, it is very easy to know where you or other people have gone wrong.
