Sau Vic - Help Don1 Find The Right Workshop

[don1]

Good Afternoon Skylines Australia,

My 1990 R32 GT-R has been getting a full engine rebuild, forged pistons and N1s at RE Customs for some time now and I have been totally happy with their service and results, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

The problem is now my engine is all fixed up I want to have a good hard look at the interior and exterior - maybe get a paint job, new boot, some new seats, a new wheel etc. I am also looking to get a good alarm system installed.

RE Customs only do engine work so I am looking for advice about what might be a few good workshops to look into. I looked through the workshops thread but couldn't really find much. If I can take my car to one shop and get all of the interior/exterior and alarm taken care of then that would be great - but any info on any workshops that do any of this is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can point me in the right direction.

Oh - I live in Melbourne, but anywhere I can get to in a couple of hours is cool.

Spray work - Micolour in Cheltenham have been doing excellent work.

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

Wheels. I dont think you can go past Rampant (Aaron).

For car alarm installation.

Recommended by Chris Rogers (check out audio section if you dont know him)

Spent about 6 hours installing my alarm into the car. Removing whole dash etc etc

dont mean to hijack and start up another thread but on the same note, anyone know of a good insurance pannel workshop in/near springy? Doesnt have to specialise in imports like DT Pannels. The family corolla got can-opened by a 4x4 reversing out and not looking.

thanks.

edit...never mind its all been sorted.

Micolour FTW

Just take out your interior. its cool.

[don1]

Thanks heaps for the advice!!! I'll give most of them a call and see what they can do. Looks like it might be smartest to take it different places for the exterior, interior and alarm respectively.

Heres what I got....

Exterior/Spray Shops

DT Panels

Micolour

Alarms/Audio

Interior

Do those guys do interiors? Or just exterior?

Just take out your interior. its cool.

Do you mean I should rip out my entire interior and put a whole new dash in? How much is that gonna cost me?? Like millions, right?

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

I'm happy to do that, but pretty clueless on how to "shop around". Where would I look to find a bunch of places that sell/install seats and dashes etc?

Thanks again guys!!

So send them an email enquiring about the part you want?

Also Alarms.

If you become a member of SAU-Vic, it will give you access to heavily discounted Alarm installation by a friend of mine who is a supporter of the club

It offsets the cost of membership easily, so there are MANY bonuses just there.

[blind_elk]

They can probably do both. Ask them.

Thanks mate I will. Theyre in the yellow pages? Or do you have a number?

Sweet I'll check it out. Does he also do audio/turbo timer installs? Cause I'd probably get them done at once.

Last time: Is there anything more anyone can tell me about how I can track down a bunch of people that do interior work on cars? Like where I should look. I got no friggin clue.
