Bozrocket Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 So my mate is driving my, then mint, R33. Going for a nice cruise and spun out on a roundabout. He caught it well but not well enough, ended in a barrier. When we assessed the damage its not too horrible, the rear right panel is badly dinted and it stops just after the wheel arch, nothing on the door and just a small scratch on the front right panel. Will post a pic later. Just wondering if anybody has a recommended panel beaters as I don't know any myself. As far as the car goes mechanically it seems to be running fine, the wheels are straight and the only real damage I could think of would be the fuel tank? Any help would be appreciated want my baby back on the road asap haha. Thanks.

htial Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I use Imperial Finish in Centre Rd, Springvale. I've had them do Just Cars insurance jobs as well as cosmetic touchups on a number of cars. I've always been happy with their work and service.

Bozrocket Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Nah he's just copping a punch to the wallet, went and got a quote, $1800 they said. Haha he was in tears, I just couldn't help but laugh. And yeah not too bad, just a spray painter friend said it might be more around the $4000 mark, which had me a bit stressed.

Sunkist Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm actually surprised with $1800. But yeh.

R31Nismoid Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Nah he's just copping a punch to the wallet, went and got a quote, $1800 they said. Rear bar replace/repair Rear bar reo (maybe) Dent remove & fill rear 1/4 where all the damage is (looks like it goes further that the pic shows) Tail light surround/mount (maybe) Paint/Blend down the door/boot/rear bar/wing/tail light surround/1/4 panel People seem to think bodywork costs nothing but you run a shop @ $80/hr labour you'll easily see $600 (7.5hrs and that's disassemble, repair, prep, paint, assemble etc) before you even buy any parts or add in consumables etc $1800 sounds reasonable for all of the above really. I'd be expecting over 2k as a starting point. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415318-just-crashed-gts-t/#findComment-6664253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odium Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Bro my cuzzin could fix that in his backyard for $400 and a slab of woodstock. If you want it to look like a car after its fixed though, take it to a reputable shop with a good track record with skylines and paint.
