Hey maria.. First of all what sort of spray job are you looking for? Because any beddy you get your always gunna need to do rust hey.. If your after a top spray job I'd say yeh go to a panel shop but if its a work vehicle or just something you need to look neat but not show I'd say either save a stack of cash and pay one of the buga members to do some work on her.. I'd put my hand up except I run out of time every single week at the moment and its not getting any better lol. If your interested you could even gather some skills from others and do the work yourself. I'd be happy to provide the tools Cheers ben

thanks ben, i've done rust work on my old tranny and that looks shocking now. can't understand why i don't get pulled over. but i don't, and that's the main thing. ha haa

this panelbeater thing was for a van in sydney but i've had it inspected and it's got too much wrong with it for my  pocket to cope with. unless i get if for a steal, but then it's interstate and all the hooey that goes with getting it here is too much at the moment.

would love to do stuff on a van myself, and this time do it properly. will see what comes up.

Others have shown a willingness to help a fellow beddiephile in distress, have a look at what the WA crew have done for one and other.

I cant see why us Melbournians couldn't help each other out (even if its only empting the fridge )

I'm with Ben I'm happy to share my time and (limited) knowledge, so some sort of working be could be organised.

Thats part of what this sites about, people helping people with terminal beddemonia
