Another panel thread? For gods sake.

Think about it... to do the work it costs money. You drive an R34, yet you wont spend good money for excellent work? Or wont your parents give you anymore money?

And you wanna built a 300rwkw street weapon... riiiight.

Sure you could get it done for $200 on the cheap, maybe even $150 if your really really lucky... but the work will be crap.

Crying over $300 is ridiculous.

Most places will be $250-$350 for a good quality work.

Mate $300-s not that bad. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, and that's true for every thing. Go get some quotes and pick the best, . Good luck with it all. Your not having a good time with the 34 are ya.

Do it yourself if you are worried about the money! You will get what you pay for unless you have a mate who is skilled.

Google "repair paint fibreglass", go to Bunnings and do it yourself. I am about as far from DIY as they come but still take challenges on.

im still gettn custom this and that, but i cant resist driving my baby. unfourtunetly having a big custom bar is just asking for trouble lol.

we should meet up sometime daniel, love to see ur East Bear Bar!!!! heard nothing but praise

Sorry mate i have to agree with ash!!

I do some work with fiberglass myself and to repair what are cracks etc you have to cut back all the "dead glass" or broken parts and then re make the section that has been cut back.. you also have to ensure that you get it flush with other areas of the bar which havent been touched etc.. so if someone is offering to do it for 300 mate u got a good deal...

Plus you then have to paint the bar which also again requires a lot of work to make it look good

$300 would be about right to repair then respray a WHOLE front bar, u gotta remember its not a 2 min job

DT panels are pretty good with this sorta stuff and they should be able to give u a good price

Yep lot of work to fix, I'm in the same boat after read ending Bass's car last year. I'll be fixing mine myself (with a friends help) shortly

Work involved -

Sand back whole bar

Repair cracks/dents/chips

High fill and sand back bar whole bar again to get smooth

Under coat whole bar

Spray bar and possibly blend paint into other pannels

Sounds to me like a good $300 work. Don't be a tight ass, you drive a 34 not a Datsun sunny.

[SS8_Gohan]

$300 sounds ok, Vu (dt panels) can sorta ya out.
