Just read the thread,
Poncho (Con) at Minicraft is where I go, he is very cheap in my opinion, always goes that little bit more than he has to. He does stock new parts, or can order them in. He is always busy but will try his best to accomodate you. Rumor has it that he is going for an importers licence too, which means lots of harder to get 2nd hand bits too.
In regards to the paint job 2k-5k is about right depending on the amount of work they have to do. - get it to primer level yourself if you can, that will save you heaps of money. I would also be up for a mini run but at the moment - same old story - scooby is out of action until I get a new alternator pulley seeing as the old one had a door handle surround as a spacer which then flogged out!
cheers
