Hey guys,

Just making a post to inform everyone about a good experience with one of our SAU VIC supporters, John from PDR-TEK.

My old lady's car had a decent dint in the rear qtr panel of her Astra, his work was great.. I didn't think he would have been able to get the dint out, let alone get it close to 100%. Looking at the panel now, you would never pick that a dint used to be their.

He did the job at her work and spent a few hours perfecting his work, even helped out another person at her work!

If you sign up to become a VIC member and present your card he will look after you, as he did for me :thumbsup:

If you guys are interested here is his contact details:

Good one Mark!

- I was reading the SAU-VIC Sponsors the other day and wondering about this as my new car has a new ding on EACH SIDE! GRRR..

Will have to get this done as well but the dents are really small and hardy noticeable to most people. BUT not to ME! ;D

Can he make the panel back perfect?

haha i know what you mean, nothing worse then getting those first few dints on a new car!

Depending on the access you have to the back of panel and what the dint is like will depend on how well he can get it out. Even if he cant get a dint out 100%, he says he can get it close or would be able to considerably improve it.

Best bet is have a chat to him, or send him some pics so he can let you know.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words. As for a perfect finish that is what i aim for. Obviously some dents are just too big or the metal has been stretched, but in most cases i can improve the dent to a point where it can hardly be noticed. Smaller dings and dents i can usually get a perfect or near perfect result.

Cheers

i bought my car with a few blemishes and they've always annoyed me...

what kinda dollars am i in for, for the average job by john?

Hi Sam, i am sure you can appreciate it is very hard for me to provide a accurate quote without seeing the dent first. If you can send a few digital photo's to [email protected] i can have a look, or have a look at my website here at www.pdrtek.com.au or just give me a call to arrange a time and i can come out and supply a quote. As a very rough guide dents the size of a 5 cent coin will start at $60 for SAU members, if you have a few dents on the same panel then i will discount to do a few dents on the same panel.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

John

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
