Title: Panel shop that is good and not ridiculously expensive
Post by: PTP on November 10, 2015, 10:34:05 AM
Hi all.

Any advice about a good panel shop, ideally Mel northside, would be appreciated. A bit of rust (obviously) and some panel repainting required on my GTV.

Thanks!

Peter.

Not in the North, but good, Extreme Panels, Dandenong, talk to Lee Parra, Rankins in Bayswater, Malvern Street, we have a technical workshop visit to Extreme every year to see his latest restoration, Colin.

Quality panel repairs on old Alfas requires skill, knowledge & time. Given most repair work is labor, you need to make sure a good understanding of the time that is required to fix the car to your standard.

Recommend someone with experience but don't know of any in the north. Art on Wheels Vyv Hyrons, Paul Rankin & Lee Para are all a good starting point to discuss what you want.

Good luck
Paul
