Bennis Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 So whats a good body shop in Newcastle? Deciding whether to get my paint and whatnot fixed here or back in Port Macquarie. Anyone have any experience and might be able to guesstimate a price. Its basically mostly plastic bumpers for the most part. What needs doing? - Front Bar respray, mild scrapage damage on the lower lip. - Small section on rear quarter panel, no bigger then your hand size. - Rear bar, full respray. Has bad paint chippage in bottom left corner. -Maybe Spoiler Never had to have plastic parts repaired. I noticed with the chipping paint on this stock rear bar I bought yesterday its pretty deep stuff (the distance between topcoat of paint and base of bumper, its millimeters). Is it just body filler > plastic primer? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/249/#findComment-6900680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just body filler > plastic primer? Go to P&A Auto Repairs in Melbourne St, East Maitland. It will be easier for them to quote you if you go there in person with your car. I can vouch for the quality of their work, tell them Benji sent you over as I know the main guys who work there (Mick - owner, Phil - manager) so they will take care of you mate. They don't do things half-arsed. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/249/#findComment-6900828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.j.h Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Is the painter top notch? Doesn't matter how good the owner and manager are if the painter can't paint for shot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/249/#findComment-6900830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennis Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Wont be happening for months. Cars in Port Macquarie where its being stored while I gather parts. Once its done, its coming back here for tune and possibly paint. Will definitely keep them blokes in east maitland in mind. THeres a huge fancy Orange building near my house called Steve K**** Smash Repairs (forgot his last name lol). Might go see what theyr like when the time comes. Ill see if I can come to the cruise if my daily gets fixed up. Housemate somehow manged to drive his car into my daily peugeot in our hill driveway and he has pushed my exhaust on it and its fowling under the car and leaking pretty bad. Hoping to get it fixed this week sometime. Rego also this week so ima be super poor by the end of it lol.

Saw no one and was driving all day Quite a few around the Terrace lately but mainly 32's and 33's with the occasional 31 in the mix.... Only time i see 34's is when we go cruising! Actually, on that note and COMPLETELY stuffing up what i just wrote, saw a blue GTR in the terrace with the number plate 34GTR? Possibly gold rims? Wasnt Norm i know that much!

I am not a huge fan of yellow, but.... that yellow on that GTR is simply amazing. Love it. On the side note - I was actually quite surprised on who knew what a Skyline as down there. A 10 year old even knew what it was... But yeah - actually saw none in newcastle area However, it was pouring down with rain I saw that blue GTR on carsales 34GTT - it's like 1k for the plates as well or something Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/249/#findComment-6903023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt Norm i know that much! Saw that same car the other day at the Subway thats near the 7Eleven / Maccas after the Hexham bridge. Plates read 34GTTR and it has Volk GTC wheels. Its a GTT, standard rb25 exhaust note. Really nice car though, looked immaculate.

Bennis Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Can spectators come watch the hill climbs? I could enter my Peugeot in it, probably perfect for the little beast but ide rather come have a watch and take some photos.
