Tracie's car is in Landsborough at the panel beater/painter and nearly finished.

His car had a feature and was on the cover of Street Machine mag in December 2008 (green LC "Stealth Bomb") so i think that is a good reference for him.

These are some of the tease pics he has sent me during the repair/paint.

He said he takes pics of repairs before, during and after but i haven't got them yet only the few pics here.

He is really good to talk to and very casual, his dad had a panel business in Chincilla (i think thats where he said) and they are both into rods as well.

I dropped the car of in March and the paint pics are about a week old, i haven't been in any rush for the car as it sat in the shed for 5yrs before we had the coin to get it done.

He also has an upholsterer in Landsborough that he uses and he has done the interior for me but i don't have any pics of that, hopefully soon as they should be putting it in, in the next couple of weeks.

If you are interested pm me for his details

So far panel ( rust and straighten) and paint ( 2 pac), fit A9x flares (the big ones), paint engine bay, cut guards, make the front spoiler fit and fit up body kit, panel gaps, etc $12000.

Clean, panelbeat ( needed a fair bit of work on the rear driver side chassis rail and floorpan) and paint under the car about $1000.

Just waiting to here if and how much to do the extras.

Upholstery is $5000 that gets me seat frames cleaned and repaired/painted and covered, door trims carpet in the cabin and boot, panels fitted to the sides in the boot and carpeted, kick panels, B and C pillars, roof lining and Dynamat from the top of the firewall to the top of the panel behind the back seat.

He organised the tyres and got them fitted to the rims, has found me front and rear windscreens, is fixing and polishing the stainless trim, fitting up the tail lights, door handles and window winders for me as well as putting in the door glass and window mechanisms.

Think i got everything.
