If you want, try Freeway Smash Repairs in Osborne Park. They do really good work. They fixed my car up v well, good paint job too..let me know and I'll let him know to expect you?

Not today, the air-con in my skyline doesn't work and I used 1/4 of a tank going to mandurah and back. 

The guy told me i'd have to get a new front skirt (at my cost) and then $600 to paint and fit it, as he won't repair the existing.
Then he wanted $450 to pop the dent under my drivers side mirror, and another $600 to respray the door to match.
Then he wanted $1000 to remove the rear skirt, pop the dent, fiberglass the tear and then respray and fit, or $600 if I supplied him with a new rear bumper, and he would just paint and fit.
 

You can see the dent on the side in the photo attached, have no photos of the rear at the moment.

Yeah, after he went inside, I looked at my friend and said "You're kidding me right?" and he thought it was a good deal.

In other news, I've been quoted a maximum of $500 to fix my Air-Con, roughly $200 + whatever a fan for an R33 would cost (depending on the issue)

Ok, booked the Skyline, and my Lancer in for some Paintless Dent Removal, should be fun.
 

I spoke to three different places and decided to go with Dent Dismissal, as he seemed to be the most knowledgeable after a small discussion over the phone. There was a guy called The Dent Man, who was $50-$100 cheaper, but he basically just said "shouldn't be a problem, will come up good", where as Dent Dismissal gave me more information, "Based on the location, sharpness of the dent i'll have to do X and Y, could take a little longer depending on how it comes up, I've not worked on that car before so I don't know how long it'll take blah blah".

Will let you all know how it goes.

Mother in laws passport should be ready any day. We spent the money we had put aside on the house. Getting a bit of overtime lately so it's still possible but my wife said on the weekend she would like to go for New Years instead so I'm not sure what will happen

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
