Hi there Veedubbers,

I am in Melbourne, I have a 1964 Beetle and have some weld work needed on the doors L/R side ( Lower Pillars) are rusted through and I need the new Pillare parts welded in.

Does anyone in the area do this kind of body work? I have already bought the parts required to weld in.

Your time in reading this post is appreciated.
Regards.
Leonardo

Sorry Leonardo I don't know anyone in Melbourne but found someone in Sydney (not much help).A[pologies for highjacking your thread with the question below:

I am after similar help in Sydney for repair to my driver's Side A Pillar. I have been quoted $110/hr + GST and not knowing the extent of the rust this could prove costly. If this damage didnt extend into the heater channels do you have a rough idea of how long this may take so I can work out a budget?

Thanks,

Ben.

Hi Leonardo, I have used VW Performance in Croydon before. There work is good and prices are pretty fair.
