Rust repairers & body engineers in Melbourne?

[tradsound]

Hi,
I'm after someone to do some work on my '78 CF van. Specifically the rust in my gutters & drivers step repaired, a little bit of panel beating and bit of engineering (an anchor point for a child booster seat & welding reinforcement around the rear door catches).
Does anyone know of any good rust repairers and/or engineers in or around Melbourne?
I've tried most of the vintage/classic car restorers but they're all booked out for 6-18mths and i'm hoping to get the work done in the next few weeks.

Hi tradsound, a good cheap way out is to offer your van to be done at the tafe, sometimes they only charge for material, and don't forget to offer the teacher a slab on the sly. I think Richmond use to be a trade school for apprentice's, theres a couple of good tradies up here , but thats Ballarat
