    RE: HZ restoration, Panel beater recommendations PERTH!!

    HI

    I am looking at getting my HZ sandman restored. I have owned it for over 10 years and it is currently off its rails ready for a resto.

    Can anyone suggest a good panel shop for restoration.

    I plan to restore to original condition and dont mind paying the money for quality.

    The problems is in w.a. we are very limited to workshops that want to do resto work
    most panel and paint shops dont want to know about old cars anymore
    here is a big tip
    dont use plaza panel and paint they slugged my mate 19 k for a paint job and it blisted
    they are a smash repairs business not a resto shop like farrace

    I agree it is hard to find places in Perth. My step brother is a panel beater but if helped me out over weekends it would take forever plus as you say his shop is only interested in insurance work like most.

    I looked on the Farrace website their work looks good if you look at their step by step projects. I think i will give them a go, i would rather pay the money to get the job doen right.
