Post subject:  panel beaters sydney something CrAzY
Hi I was wondering if anyone could recommend any panel beaters in sydney that have worked with minis before... im *contemplating* a clubby to rover roundnose conversion steve from brickworx said with the rover front no mods would be needed short of the weld on and repaint...

$200 from brickworx

it's all up in the air i dunno if the elusive roundnose van will appear so i thought of looking at it from a different angle...

steve said his last quote he recieved was between $1500-$2500

but alas he's in melbourne so it'd be easier to do this sort of thing in sydney what with pulling an engine out etc...

Probably easier and cheaper . Were you planning on keeping the clubby dash or reworking it into a custom or early one as well ? More cost there as well as the front .

i will wait for the roundie! i will wait!..... still waiting.... getting sleepy..... hehe

yeah, they have done the opposite with deans ute. it was imported from the uk without a front and then the clubman 1 was added .

Don't take it personal like....Dean must be a busy boy with his racing program and not all Panel Beaters (if they have any business sense) want to take on low volume, one off, specials....they are all to be busy replacing $1000 bolt on bumper bars :D
