Rust repairs - Panel Beaters Melbourne?

vamped · Post by **vamped** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:12 pm

Hi all, long time site reader... first time post!

Recently purchased an EK special sedan - he has some (surprise!) rust and needs a bit of TLC. Rust is in the body where the sub-frame mounts to body/sub-frame.

I am looking for a reliable panel repair shop, east Melbourne. Any help and/or recommendations are gratefully accepted!!!!

Hey Vamped. Theres a panel shop that I pass acouple of times a week that always have an old car or two sitting out the front. Devilrod has also recommended them on previous posts. Gollings Panel Repairs, 17 Jarrah dve in Braeside. Phone-95801973. Give them a try.

They be the ones!! My brothers Compact is due to go back for finishing off by them. Gazrat can confirm the quality of their work as he has my old FC they painted 10 odd years ago.

Cameron and Mick are very good at what they do, although sometimes they take a little longer than planned. But its well worth it.

Let us know how you get on

They were indeed very helpful & lovely guys - tho may not be able to do the work for some time as they are very busy.

I am a bit desperate, and want to get my car on the road. I recently bought it from WA and need to get some rust repairs done ASAP for rego. (it is the pink one that was listed on here a while ago!)

If there are any other people/places anyone can recommend, I'd be very very grateful....

Hi Vamped,
I am not really the best person to give advice on paint / panel. Having only really been the full respray resto once..

But all my research, reading and generaly talking to people helped me form the opnion that if you find a good shop that do good work at a good price it pays to wait.. They are most likly busy for a reason.

But good luck in which ever way you decide to go..

and welcome to the site..

They do have a very good reputation which does indeed keep them busy.

PM Nekronomicon on here he may be able to recommend somewhere.

Not original colour, it seems to have been a few colours. Was originally parisian lilac, it seems to have also been mint green then black and white in various stages of his life... Probably going for a complete respray, super shiny black.
