Hi guys,

I've got a beetle with the usual rusts - wheel wells, door pillars, rear bumper mounts

I want this rust GONE. does anybody have any recommendations in brisbane that would be able to do this for me and not rip me off? I don't have the knowledge or the tools to do this myself

surely somebody must know! thankss

Someone will know, but you must be prepared to part with at least $5,000 if you want to pay for a full repray that needs that amount of rust repaired.

How bad is it???

Rust repairs are not cheap if you are paying some one to do it. What is the paint like??
Are you expecting a perfect paint match??

I would start by sending Brad an email

I don't really care about the paint, I just want the rust gone so I can feel safe when driving in the rain!

Might be better/cheaper/easier to get another dubbie or re-shell the one you have... seriously

You say you don't care about the paint, but it is the paint that will help protect it from rusting again.

by the time he finds another good one and swaps parts he might have lost 5k anyway. Fix it up Lams, save another one from Evil Uncle Rusty. 😉

what lams means is that the car is due for a respray anyways so all he wants is the rust repaired for now and later do a respray 🙂
