I dunno how easy it is to find a good gaurd but thats what id do, but panel beater will know what to do. And they shouldnt need to use too much bog as the steel is easy to work.

I've also had some welding on my bug done up at East Koast Kombis in west gosford. They were very good.

I like your wish list - just missing a 356 and Kate Beckinsale!
