Hey just wondering if anyone in the melbourne area has had anyone respary and remove a bit of rust arould their car or engine bay.
How much did it cost?
Where did you get it done?
length of time it took?

Also any info on engine rebuilds would be great thanks.

Why not have a go yourself? You can't go too far wrong , even if you use SC Auto mixed up spray paints, it'll be good enough for under bonnet. Wire brush and rust converter works well.

ditto... take the engine & subframe out in one unit from under the car, clean, clean, clean, clean, paint, reassemble

I dont have the tools or the knowledge to pull the engine out. The car also has some dodgy wires hanging about that i just dont know what they are for i would rather pay a professional to do it and get all the wires right. For little bits of rust what would you recomend i know you can get like rust stopper sprays from supercheap auto.

take it to someone like Link auto in Mitcham

Link auto looks the closest to me i might give them a call and have a chat
Thanks guys

Sent you a PM

bump up.

Hi all, just wanted to re-open this thread, I will be looking at exactly the same job on my leyland mini next year (engine bay derust and re-spray)

Could someone please let me know the rough figure to expect for $$ repairs? Rust is very minor (mostly surface) but would require effort to tidy up and re-spray.

Also, where would you recommend in Melbourne? previous posts have suggested Link Automotive. Just wanted a couple of options to weigh them up. (Happy to drive to the right person).

If its easier, pm with your views.

Much appreciated.
Best, Richard
