Hey fellas. I know some of you live in Adelaide/SA.. So.. where can I go to get work (i.e. rust repairs and respray) done? As in.. good quality work at a reasonable price? Thanks, any info's good.

Grand Auto Wreckers at Lonsdale have some rust repair panels for sale:- they are made locally I believe. Rare Spares on South Road Richmond also have some patch panels. If you want to "restore" your 510, then it is probably false economy to just do a respray. The proper way to go would be a bare metal up re-build. It is very hard to find all the rust and repair it if the body has not been completely stripped. Whether you want a respray or a re-paint, a place down south, Quality Crash, has done a few jobs for my son and daughter and they have been magic. See Peter Flaherty and have a chat with him. :wink:
I might add there is nothing worse in my opinion than a simple "tart up" of any car. If it is worth the trouble, do it right.

Well, if you wish to come and see what I'm doing with my own cars, perhaps that will help you make a decision :wink:
I'm no professional but I can help you with your situation. :)
