I've tried called many times since early december but figured they closed for chrissy. I've tried again but nothing, anyone know when they go back? Also just while i'm here, anyone had experience with them? Like how you have to take the car to them? What the process is? just for interest i'll guess i'll find out after i get through to them.

Ps. I know the experience question has been asked before just thought i'd through it in so please dnt be a forum nerd and have a sad because you thought i didn't 'search'. haha :banana:

cheers all.

hey dude, I've done 2 years in tafe first pre app in autobody refinishing then another year as mature age trade certificate this was in 1998. If its anything like what it was then I'd have to say exactly what are you looking for do want a show finish, forget it then, if want all panels that have been removed to sit right again then forget it, if you want your prep work done well forget it,

However if your looking for just an average job yeah it's ok, will do, its not that cheap too, back then it cost a full repray around $1300-$1800. so if your not fussed too much yeah its ok if you want heads turning nah, if you go ahead with it remove all valueables from the car including cds, coins etc.

Another thing would be time, It will take longer to spary aswell for inexperience is a problem. Best bet will be to ask when the 3rd year apprentices are comming there not too bad and will do a half decent job

Yeah man i just want the thing painted i'm not fussed about the 'show car' job, and i'm willing to do a bit of prep but would i be like gap filling and everything too? i thought they did it as apart of their 2 week course of a full respray on a car??

      Unpeeling the Orange

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".

      I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
