Panel Beaters

[Nismo33]

Hello every one. I am chasing a decent Panel Beater/spray shop to repair my R33 coupe. It has taken a tree to the passenger side and needs pulling straight and the sill panel, door and maybe a part of the floor replaced. I have all the spare parts required with the exception of the side skirt wich may be repairable! i have taken the car to 2 panel shops so far and I am still waiting for a quote! Anyone got any ideas/recommendations?

I live in HighWycombe & work in Belmont. The car drives even though I shouldn't so I will take it anywhere with in a reasonable distance. I can trailer it is I have to. Any recommendations would be realy appreciated!

Any idea what something like this should cost?

[ben351]

what looks like a few dinged panels on the outside might be more underneath dude ... a hit like that could easily bend chasiss

if i were you id be saving me pennies $$$$$$$

[Nismo33]

The chassis is not bent but the floor has been bent up and the chassis slightly squashed!

Either your car is completley fucked and beyond worthy repair.

Or two, your being a tightarse and wont pay for floorpan and chassis repairs!

Panel beaters dont usually just turn away big jobs because they feel like it.

Joshg123,
I have been told the car is repairable by 2 panel beaters both in Belmont. One I don't even think looked at the car and when I picked it up the receptionist had to call the owner and she said $8000 + parts with a strange look on her face?. I then took it to another guy in Belmont just around the corner he seemed genuine and looked at the car while I was there quickly and said it was repairable and he would get back to me with a quote. I haven't heard back?
I have just sold my 2007 Suzuki Huyabusa which I purchased 2 weeks before I wrecked my car (3 monhs ago)in order to repair it. I have also purchased a complete car for parts prior to this as I have been told that will be my biggest expense. I am willing to pay the $8000 with the other car as parts but I have only had one quote.
I am basically looking for recommended repairers as originally stated so I know where I stand as I have never had to deal with this before.

Maybe the car is completly fucked? So be it,I just want to know where to go from here?

I am not being a tight arse by the way!

Auto accident repair centre, stanhope gardens, midvale.

They do fucking awesome work, and if youve got 8k to spend, then it will come out good.
