Apparentley when you buy a car from interstate it automaticaly needs to be put over the pits here in WA. (Why didnt I get this memo before buying my gorgeous Kombi Campervan "Rupert". ARGH)

So, we have had all the work done to get him mechanically prepared for his poking and proding but have been informed that there is some "body work" aka RUST that needs to be dealt with first.... So this leads me to my question, can anyone recommend someone in the Perth area who would look at my boy? I am finding it hard as most panel beaters are just smash repairers....

Please help...

I have found the same thing while looking for a panel beater to do some work on my bug. Chris from Idlewild said that he mainly does buggy stuff and not general beetle or kombi work, but he may know some people in Malaga that could do some work. Also check out this thread (http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=61528) as a few people from Perth have posted some ideas.

Good luck, and let me know what happens.

I'm in the same boat, down in Mandurah, still looking round phoning companies constantly, so will let you's know if I find anything out too
