Yesterday I was rear-ended by a Triton. The insurance company have so far been good and the car is at the panel beaters already.
Unfortunately the panel beaters have said they do not really do older cars and can I recommend a restorer that they can send the car onto.

So Ausmini, any recommendations?

Cheers, Paul.

Harvey bodyworks, opposite Link Automotive in Mitcham, do all our Mini bodywork and are very reasonably priced, with fantastic workmanship & they know Minis well. They are also quick, no need to wait for months like other panel shops seem to take.

If you are looking for concourse std, Historic Vintage Restorations in Blackburn are absolutely the best in the business.

Make sure the boot fits correctly when it is done. New boot lid required and half a rear panel although I have repaired much worse and metal finished the panel. Not many panelbeaters want to repair anymore. Its all about time
