Hi,
My 60's beetle needs some minor rust work and I am looking for suggestions for people/panel beaters in Southern Sydney who you guys would
recommend.
Cheers Scott
in the same boat mate hard to find a pannel beater that will do non insurance work and spesialise in old cars.
you could try Pioneer Smash in 11a Harp St Campsie
they have been doing Kombis and Bugs latetly
right next door to Vintage Vee Dub
Cheers for that, i will get in contact this week.
Was starting to think that there wasn't anyone on this forum that had cars built from steel.....
you had better have deep pockets
repairs aint cheap these days no matter who u go to
Guys, depends where you are in Sth Sydney but there are a few Panel Beaters in the Shire that I can put you onto that would be able to help. Key
here is to be willing to fit into their schedule and / or do as much of the work as you can yourself.
Another option is to enrol in a Tafe evenings short course on panel beating, there are a few on the Sth Side of Sydney and you take your car along
and work on it with their tools and under supervision. Wont get you a concourse finish but will get your rust cut out and a good piece of metal
welded in. You could then take it to a decent painter and get them to do a blow over..
Course it all depends if your talking about some rust spots in the quarter panels or replacing an entire heater channel 
Drop me a text or call me if you want more of a steer..

I just got my KG back from the guys at Detroit Custom Bodyworks http://detroitcustom.com.au/
They did an awesome job and really cared about the old VW even though they normally work on GT's
Here is a pic of the Karmann.... and it hasn't been buffed yet.
