Screwed Over Again...

[i hate rav 4's]

Some of you may remember my post about getting screwed over by "mechanics" in adelaide. Since therapy i can now openly speak about that. So i thought i might get my rear quater panel fixed, obviously by a panel beater and bring some pride back into my 32.

I bought the panel myself and had it freighted to the workshop. I was told it would be ready in 4 - 6 weeks. So 2 months later it hasn't even been started yet. Just sitting in his shed looking all depressed while i drive a sierra around that can't even go the speed limit. The reason it hasn't been started is, quote; "i'm waiting on a panel beater to come over from Tasmania".

Now he is a panel beater / spray painter. I can understand if he hasn't got time because he is busy but telling me bulls**t lies has made me quite agrivated. He won't even give me a quote. So i want to take it elsewhere but after the trouble i've already been through does anybody know a reliable, reputable, quality panel beater?

I dream of a magical place in a far away land where mechanics and customers live as one and we co-exist in peace and harmony. Can anyone help???

cheers vinnie, yeah where i work probably isnt the cheapest either. but we do quality work, its not like these volume shops that crank out as many jobs as possible, we take some time to get it right.

i miss my old shed too like, really really miss it.

going from the shed, with pit, and room to fit about 4 cars in, to the one i have now, which only *just* fits the onevia in, sucks!

true hey ted, thats the other thing i miss is a pit, now i have to scramble underneath the car on my back :S

[gfunkk]

wait so why do you have rav4's, you dont have a thread about this?

[Damo_R34]

what?

[ted180]

pretty sure his 32 got written off, or at least very badly damaged, by a rav4 that pulled in front of him or something a while ago?

[gfunkk]

ahhh i see

lucky it wasnt a semi that pulled out in front haha

Yeah, black 32. I'll get it back eventually... I noticed the 33 when you first got it in the bridge and then found out a little bit more through the people i'm renting a room off at the moment.

I did have a thread about rav 4's a while ago. Short is it pulled out infornt of me and took out my drivers side from front panel, door and to the fuel cap. However it was under dubious circumstances and have learnt my lesson. But i still hate them as they are a joke and can't be classified as a 4wd.

actually i think ive met you before that, i had a chat to you when u worked at dominos?

[Mowbuss]

SA Chassis services at mile end. Might be booked solid, but try anyway. The guys there are great, usually working on chargers and the likes.

[i hate rav 4's]

Yeah that's true, good old Domino's that was a long time ago. I used to try to talk to anyone in an import especially skylines and there weren't any other 33's that looked as nice as yours. I think Joel and Amanda had 33's but that was it. I still hear updates with your's through the roommates.

haha, that brings back memories. i remember dominos carpark always had the lineup of black 32s, normally yours, that gts-4 with the vented bonnet and sometimes that n/a one. i always parked there to go to the bank and have a sus of the other lines

cheers man, i always tried to keep the 33 clean i spose. were joel and amandas 33s the burgandy and oranges ones? do i know your roommates?
