Can any of you datto owners in Perth recommend a reasonably priced panel shop?

NOR is first preference, but ultimately I'll go where I go.

for rust repairs or typical body panel beating?

theres a few good ones i use but not cheap

i've been given a heads up from a mate.
not seeing the car until saturday so not 100%... i know there are a couple of rear 1/4's to be welded in, the rest has been done from what i've been told.
so a little from column a, a little from column b

cheers.

have you seen the car ?

when i see it i'll know if it's worth pursuing, and then if i do buy it, i was thinking of dropping it straight to a panel shop to get the quarters welded on, any last repairs done, and get it painted... while that's happening, because the car is completely stripped i will have all the bits at home to clean up, organise new seals, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

ok here is an actual recomendation post

I'm getting rust repaired at malaga rust repairs at the moment. they are doing a great job and respect the fact that I want to spend money on a datsun instead of thinking i'm crazy like the another place I went too 7 years ago.

Gary seems like a top chap and has made sure he is doing exactly what I want before starting (small body mods)

price is fair (this work aint cheap) and they also use KBS coatings for long lasting repairs. and are happy to take photos along the way for you!

cheers

Yep used and RECOMMEND Gary as well he loves the old skool stuff alot and I was sent to him Grant sssr20 from here.

do you know if Gary can organise bead-blasting aswell?

anyone here had it done and know what it's worth?

you will all get sick of my questions but my brain wants to know everything... "do it once, do it right" complex

well i was just up there giving him some money and looking at my lovely new rear wheel arches that he made from scratch! and he showed me a bit of bead blasting on another car so he does do it (incase you havent asked him yet)

top work on all the cars he has there.

hey MangaNOID, well i went in and spoke with gary today, he was telling me about your rear wheel arches.

so i've decided i'll use him, i want the kbs coatings done, all done right the first time, no more rust, ever!

but my next dilemma.. time to scan ozdat and datnet for pics... colour choice...

i'm really keen on solid (non-metallic) colours... in particular black... but i keep getting told they are hot.. my car will be garaged and only in the sun when i'm out somewhere parked, that's what windows are for aren't they. wind them down.
otherwise white, or even the BRE 46 paint scheme... or..... orange, green, red, blue... aaaaaaaaaaaargh
