Almost got a whole car here. I know that someone has bought all the original Morris Mini presses in the UK, and that you can purchase a a genuine roller for $20k aud. Be amazing if someone could do this in Australia, especially now that the country no longer has a car that we can really call our own 😢

Lower inner front and rear wheel tub pieces where the wheel tub meets the outer lower quarter panel and side body past the door on a Hardtop. Also maybe a part parcel shelf panel to repair the back edge where the tabs seem to rust away due to water build up on the outer side of the rear screen rubber.

Look up diverse transport fabrications in Mount Gambier (limestone coast/south east). My brother is shop manager there, and is a spray painter/panel beater of 30 plus years. Has worked on quite a few xy's xb's xc's and they do a pretty good job. Not cheap, but good ain't cheap! Might be easier than a line up waiting at an Adelaide shop?

Thanks Howard, looking to do this to my family car this spring, lots of great tips. As far as ceramic coatings go, the only way to get them off is to polish it off and the only way to really know if it has been removed is by water behaviour. When the water sheets or beads, coating is still there, when it sits, your back to paint. Love your work.
