There is an excellent paint shop at the end of the street my works on. I can't remember their name offhand but they do repairs/ paint for collectable classics and often have classic/ euro stuff in there. A bloke at work had his Gemini painted there, it cost him 8k and he did all the prep work. I'll get their name for you tomorrow.

why would you want a 10-15k paintjob for?

showcar paint.

still a couple things to do. and it will take along time to paint. most quotes have been around that price for what he wants.

Some places dont even want to touch it.

THE best paint and pannel;

Cafasso Motor Body Repairs 96- 100 Richmond Rd Keswick SA 5035 ph: (08) 8371 1933

Mostly deal with Porsche and Mercedes, but also do restorations/classic etc.

Sorry, the best would be Des Higgins Coachbuilder

I believe he is one of only 2 agents for Bently, Daimler and Rolls Royce.

I have never seen a workshop as clean as his. I wouldnt eat off of his floor for fear of leaving crumbs or a stain.

a couple of those plases cafasso and des higgins, are great bodywork shops. eg metal finishing etc, but if you want show paint, come to hounslow crash repairs, we do alot of show cars including the candy apple re vl calias (MRVLT) and many other custom paint jobs, were at lonsdale. numbers in the yellow pages.

    • Post picks of your hanger and pump setup as I have above. 
    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
