I'm looking for some contacts.

If you are in Brisbanes Northern suburbs and have dealt with a panel beater who has done "GOOD" by you, and you'd recommend please post details here.

I am looking for someone who will be able to replace a rear bar, fix up the very end of the rear quarter (where the bar attaches) and a few little clear coat bubbling issues on both doors.

and a few little shopping centre scratches.

Don't require Show quality work.

just regular panel beater, who can blend in the paint and will not rape me on price, and who will keep there word on when the job will be complete.

anyway,

post away.

You will find about a million to choose from at Geebung/Virginia which is like 10 minutes away from where you are.

There are many panel beaters in there that have been astablished for 20-30 years so they are all respectiable in many ways.

you can't go past very fast repaints at petrie, just next to the train station, theyv'e fixed and painted several on my familys cars of recent full resprays on my r33 4door and bro's mr2 they also get alot of work from carmen import centre for skylines so there right up to speed on all the colour codes and matching, speak to peter send me a pm if u want the phone number i should have a card

On a similar theme, do these places do smaller repairs, such as fixing up a cracked front bar and respraying it? I have been to a few smash repair type places on the Northside and they weren't interested. Too small a job for them, I guess...

Also, any idea on what a repair like this is likely to cost?

Many thanks.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
