PANEL BEATER?

Todd from Enner Glynn

Kia ora all, my 17 year old son worked hard & saved to buy himself his first car........"Maggie", a purple 1972 Austin 1300 "landcrab". Quite distinctive, you may have seen it around.

He was well informed of the potential ongoing cost of purchasing a vehicle of that age, but wanted something to suit his personality : ), and its a great father / son regular maintenance project!

The seller arranged for a new WOF which it passed "with flying colours"............but not sure how, as when taking it in for a WOF check yesterday ( only 5 mths later ), "a few" issues need attending to.

So back to work for my son to raise the funds to remedy these issues ( likely to get a wee bit of help from the bank of Mum & Dad, its his pride & joy, and he has had a tough year for a number of reasons )

The reason for this post is to see if anyone out there knows of a reputable, reasonably priced panel beater able to deal with perhaps the biggest issue......some rust in the floor & right hand sill.

Maggie turns heads wherever she goes, its awesome to see the smiles on the faces of other motorists & pedestrians alike as she passes, so it would be great to keep her on the road.

Would appreciate any feedback.

Many thanks in advance from myself & my son.

Turn downsizing stress into strength

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
