Hey Dubbers!

Im still going to get a respray hopefully in the near future however im just thinking about panel work for resprayers and trying to get the best quality panels and paint for my bucks. Anywho, Ive seen this website going around in the states and sometimes here. Its this below:

http://www.vwispwest.com/pg105/

Would it be advisable that i buy all the panels, beading, bolts, nuts, seals etc and give them all to the resprayers brand new? I would imagine it would save time, money and effort on their part and i would sleep well at night knowing that those panels are brand new.

Anyone shopped in AUS through ISPwest before?

***Just read on the site that the parts are 2nd hand. Therefore there would have to be judgement on current panel health compared to the ones they have. POSTAGE IS INSANE!***

Thanks Dubbers,
Nick.

I always check with them first as the default postage calculator is always wrong. Last time my postage was half of what the website quoted.
