I know, I'm useless. Not having access to the tools I need doesn't help.

Well and truly. Notice that I changed my signature? I asked the local crash shop the other day if I could get it in there after hours for a bit of work (where I would have access to all of the tools etc I need) but that was a no go... Fairly considering just going out and buying all the shit that I need, rather than trying to rely on other people to sort their shit out so I've got some chance...

I knew that you boys would be straight onto that :P

Last night at the watering hole I was offered an apprenticeship at the local crash shop, starting at the start of next year. Between now and then they want me to do a few days, just so I can get a little bit of experience etc. Instead of paying me for the work I do now, they're going to let me bring the LJ in after hours and get a bit done on it.

None of this is concrete yet, but it's looking good :D

Yeah right.

Modern day panel repair:

Remove damaged panel.

Put on new panel.

Send to painter.

Painting actually requires SKILL :P

Cheers.

What kind of a panel beater doesn't spray? Then they might make the painter look bad!

Making it straight is the hard part, squirting some coloured juice over the top is the easy & fun part. :P

You missed my point.

The kind of thing we do in our shed with a hammer and dolly to repair a panel that is no longer available does not exist in most modern day panel shops.

The majority wont even look at a car over a certain age because the panels are NLA.

At the end of the day its cheaper to buy a new panel then spend four hours straitening it.

Obviously that isnt speaking for every panel shop, there are lots around that still do proper work. If you could get an apprenticeship somewhere like that then you would be laughing.

BTT!!!

Whens it gonna be done Rimjob???

Yeah, panel beaters don't actually beat many panels these days... But there is still a bit of welding etc involved.

Dunno DJ, I want it done before the All Torana Day later this year. October I think. Hopefully it will be well before then, though. If I can get into the crash shop, it won't take long at all.

Sound good tim, hope it all works out for ya mate. Will be nice to finally see some progress pics, do you realise the last pics were 4 pages ago (6 months) Getting ahold of the right tools will make your life a lot easier, so keep onto the crash shop :spoton:

Yeah I know it has been a while since any progress, it should go together pretty rapidly if I can get this job though.

DJ, perfection takes time, you and I both know that :P
