hey guys,

the other day i went to a panel beater and asked him for a quote on rust and panel work 4 my 4dr lj torrie and i got told to keep dreamin and just sell it for parts. Was just wonderin if everyone else fels the same way or is there anyone here that would come and give me a quote, even as a backyard job i dont mind. All i no is that this is my first car and i've put a heap of money into it alredy and i cant afford to lose the dough i've spent by selling it whole and i dont think i could bring myself to wreck a real aussie car like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Located in perth

Thanks in advance
-Jason
