A mates aunty or something works there and organised for his dent to be fixed up

the job seemed to be v good, but I've found cheaper

As for the painting, he asked about that and I think it was going to work out to be $1,500 I think

It's a lil just over the cost of the paints he wanted

Eck, ill get the paint myself... they can spray it.. i wonder how hard it would be to get a good finish if the undercoating/prep was done good.. i have access to the tools to do it myself.. just need a big shed or something, and a mask so i dont get high doing it, or do i want to get high? :P j/k

I had a R30 that I rebuilt from the ground up a few years ago that I fitted with RB20DET and all R31 running gear.

I had the car done by carlisle tafe and they did a great job for $1100 at the time.

"i wouldnt leave my car there on its own though! ".... If that's the case take your sleeping bag with you 'cause they need the car for three weeks.

$1500ish for a good two pack paint job is a very good price nowadays as you only get what you pay for.

Sure you can get a "Jam Job" for $800 but it will be poorly prepared using cheap materials

Cheers

Will make no difference as fourth year apprentices are given a car for 3 weeks to do a full respray on so they can be marked on for their exam. For this reason they will only accept a "project" that is worthwhile and that needs all their skills to complete.You are charged for materials only not labour.

For this reason I doubt that they will accept bodykit jobs either

Cheers

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
