Hi Guys,
Took the mini in to the mini king today for a service/get it up to rego standards. To my dismay its got some rust holes that'll need plugging, filling, replacing or whatever.
Can anyone recommend a good panel beater not too far away from my area(Camden) that can do the work and will do a good job?
Also my right hand rear subframe needs replacing due to rust does a panel beater do this or a engineer..?
I'm heartbroken, i secretly assumed it was rust free and worth millions haha :oops: :oops: :oops:
Thanks, Gibbo

Castle Hill is a good bet.

Danny from mini king??

Danny is a panel beater and John also has a mechanic there they should be able to sort all of that out for you.

IM puzzled as to why they didnt offer to do the work??

Yeah or Ivan Glasby at castle hill will look after you, he could do all that as well.

Either will do right by you. Good mini people

with regards to your rear sub frame, this is an easy replacement you should be able to buy a good second hand one for around 200 bux.

easy to swap over yourself at home and only a few hours work. if you havent got the tools, this is a job for the mini mechanic.

I understand Mini King Did offer To do the Job other than the panel beating,
I find That John Does not try to talk anyone into getting work done with him, He just lets You know what needs to be done and will give You a quote if You want him to

I think they would have offered but apparenty the mechanic is quite busy, so I was thinking get the panel beating done and perhaps by the time that's complete they won't be so busy and will be able to do the rest...
By no means was I trying to put miniking down, they're absolute legends, I just wanted an opinion...
