Nice. These older Monaro's are easily my next favorite Holdens. (Toranas being the king of all the lions)

can AJ's then thanks
Hi mate..
I'm going throught the same at the moment.. I have just dropped my LC Torana off to a guy who was reccommended to me. He is a home panel and paint guy so I will let you know how it goes.
My LC was straight, minimal rust and I wasnt looking for a show car job, but a nice freshen up. I got quotes as high as 14K which was a joke! I'm looking at 3-5K with this guy.
Will take pics as I go and see how we end up.
Cheers

will you post here or are you going to start a projects page? i sure there would be a few people interested in the progress.
I have started a new projects post so it can be tracked from there. (Our LC 4 door freshen up)

Have you seen this in person? Only reason I mentioned them is that I used to have a workshop round the corner from them and they used to roll out some pretty shmicko looking cars. They are also a Rare Spares supplier and paint supplies retailer (I used to get my paint etc there), so I'd imagine they'd loose a lot of business if they were doing dodgy work. Maybe you 'heard' this from someone that asked them for a cheapo sprayjob and then bitched about it when that's exactly what they got? (I've seen that before...). I never had a reason to inspect their work that closely but if you have really seen shoddy work from there I'd like to know as they are at the top of my list for panel & paint once the UC is ready....

No I have not witnessed their work personally mate, just going by what numerous people have told me over the years through workmates etc= I myself need a LOT of work done to my S.L.R theres is rust in just about every single usual torana spots(rear window,behind bonnet hinges,door sills,beaver panel is completely buggered,rear lower quarters,both rear wheel arches,one door,door jams,tail light buckets,behind rear bumper) its progressively got worse over the 12 years or so ive owned it. For me it looks like I'll have to learn how to fix it all myself as I dont have 16K plus to spare!!

Wow, old thread - the shop where I work now use 'Pristine Panel & Paint' in Rockingham. Good work, good prices, we service their cars and they've got a few nice old school rides. I think they are on facebook...
