My parents had some dents removed from their honda civic (BIG door dings) by Langley Motor bodies (at St Mary's) a few years ago. Fixed them up so couldnt see they were ever there without need for paint. Cost was about $300 for 2 dents from memory, but it would depend where they are and what interior trim needs to be removed to get to them.

Otherwise most panel shops should be able to do it, but with varying degrees of success i'm sure.

Adz: As long as the paint isn't damaged (ie. not scratched at all) they should be able to remove it without any need for bog etc. Go see some reputable panel beaters and they should do it.

I've had some quotes from Chips Away and they are no cheaper, the only difference is they come to you. I know I would rather my car go to a workshop where they have ALL the tools etc required.

chips away will fill in the dent then repaint so it won't be the cheapest option.

we use dent masters at work for these types of dents -- he is cheap but we get him at a lower price due to the volume of work

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      My muffler was fully customised to suit the car. He mailed me the end caps, I marked up the pipe locations (4 pipes in a single muffler) and he sent it back all welded. Certainly more expensive than a mass produced generic size, but that's hardly surprising. My R32 Exhaust has a Magnaflow muffler in it, if I need generic mufflers then they're usually a safe bet. I've got the Vibrant clamps on the intercooler pipes, just because they're nicer to use than the bolt together ones and not as expensive as a real Wiggins clamp.

      Yeah. Nah. A grain of sand will take out a ceramic turbine that is doing 100000rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yes, it was checked with the roller rockers installed using a LS7 lifter that had been converted to a solid lifter with a dummy spring at 0 lash with a stock length pushrod. With the Johnson lifters longer pushrods were needed which are now 7.700" and 110 wall. Long thiccbois. People much more knowledgeable than I am are doing the measuring!

      Well... New things have arrived... And now I need to really dig into the design of the power steering reservoir.

      Interesting. I had that issue on my old car. After a rocker arm broke, the electrode must have been hit or something, though the cylinder didn't look like it was damaged when I put a scope down there, might have been the turbine but hard to imagine that a small piece of metal damage the turbine by that much. Seems like it's not even big enough to do the damage most of it.
