I love Herbie......
I just watched his movies the past few months on AUSTAR...

Some I watched twice......

The first two were the best.....

the others weren't all that good......

Best of Luck........

Shame Dave Basten's retired. I would have recommended him. He did some really nice restos, and some fun mods. I always jumped at a chance to drive one.

It will look so good! nothing better than a well done herbie! Note: well done. There are a lot of subpar afternoon jobs around.

It depends on what you want done to the car. Have you worked out your budget ??

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

What you want is a good paint and panel shop.

Fossil is right, Indian Automotive do excellent paint and panel work, in fact Kimm is a qualified panel beater, but he is not cheap. That said, he's a fanatic and is really fussy about get rid of any rust and then preventing it coming back.

I know volksbahn don't do paint and panel work, just mechanicals and parts.

Klaacks at Fairfield can organise it all and do the mechanical stuff for you too.

Do CBB do paint and panel work Matt?

But yeah, figure out how much you have to spend first.
