Okay,
dangerous question but I won't hold anyone to any advice given.
I need to find a panel beater in the Brisbane area that is good and who works on VWs. Reason - I need to get two heater channels replaced in my oval. The body is off the pan, so it shouldn't be too hard a job... for someone who is familiar with bugs that is.
So I would like to get any advice from folk who have used panel beaters around Brissie. If you think you have some bad news to pass me about a panel beater, please do so in a U2U so it is private and not out in the public domain.
Cheers

Brett Brackley Body Works 3256 6301. He did the panel and paint on the '63 resto bug in the magazine.

Hi Penguin,
Bodyworks Unlimited not far from you in Toongarra Road Leichhardt. He finished our cabrio recently and I went in there this week (he restored my steering wheel as well) and they had his own ghia in there as well as 3 other beetles. 2 of them were full resprays. They have set aside part of the workshop just to restore older cars.

Ring Simon on 3281 7133.
