Sounds good if it is a proper job. I wouldn't do it for any less, I would probably charge more.

rhys i was at tormina ind centre the other day looking for a glass place
& spotted across from the bmx track a blasting place with a bay daul
cab & a karman ghia in the yard both in the primer stage do you know
the place & around the corner down a lane a beetle in the same stage.
not often you see vw's in a small industrial area at different places looked
promising.
jaksc sorry about that would have been good he takes pride in his work
but does have a backload of work, i want him to do my next one too but
it will be about a year before that happens if it does at all.
steve said in his business most panelbeaters want the new cars quick & easy(mostly plastic) & a more profitable turnover, ashame no pride in there
work

thats cause when you find yer little lepricorn you don't wants to share ay....I had sill done on my CC a while ago...so that price sounds more than
fair, they are a serious job, and not quite grind off/weld in, the CC is quite complicated to do well.
You get what you pay for.
