Hi, i took it there as its close to home and was the cheapest around, most others charge $700+ now. The quality was ok but the forgot to do the underneath so it went back again ! My 1st car was done at Salisbury, A1 Grit Blasters on Stanbel rd, he done a really good job on the mk1 Escort.

Cool. There is a couple places now for me to check out.

Cost isnt really the issue more so quality

Ahh not much progress to add, i've been doing a refit in my back shed fabricating a proper strong workbench, 4m long x 1m wide, mainly to hide my new 22cfm compressor! I also left Holdens a few wks ago..i'm so glad i dont see them horrid cars anymore!!
For people in Adelaide, i noticed this TV add which is for 'scrap' metal....look at this car, worth saving!!

I'd be on the phone to this crowd and find out where that little gem is

Its Anglia time again!!

I removed a piece of the top bulkhead and slid it back 65mm, next will be moving the tunnel/bulkhead back to match up
