Panel work

jim75, Feb 26, 4:21pm
hello people.OK i'm going to ask again as the last guy fell through.
Does anyone know of a great panel beater in the Waikato/ BOP region, possibly someone semi retired or that works from home who is into classic cars.We have a FD Victor and a RX2 that we want done right by an enthusiast.but we don't have a money printer so not looking for a commercial panel beater. thanks all
thanks

depends on how rooted it is could be a bucket of worms when you start and you will need a money printer no matter what.
usually best if you can do your own work or at least 80% of it or it will always be expensive in the end.

No they are both pretty solid very little rust

A budget job will always be just that.cheap and nasty.

jim75, Feb 26, 6:13pm
true and don't want budget.

Hi and thanks.any idea how to contact him.I have tried the white pages

Found it on google maps, 40 Piako rd, I can see his big green shed. I tried white pages as well, they have proved really useless since they left Telecom, complete waste of space.

I am a retired panelbeater which I seldom confess to, because if I sayso I know what the next question is going to be, do you fix rust!, or i have a vintage car! yea right! and most of them have short arms and long pockets.
my answer is always NO

jim75, Feb 27, 2:06pm
So when do you want to start!
