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.

    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
