Apolan Wrote:max great effort! are you doing the work yourself? No, I’ve no place, no tools and no time to do bodywork and paintjob alone. I just gave my car to a workshop, and explained what I want. He asked 700€ for the job. That’s a very good price, considering rusty car condition. Fun is not the straight line! |

banpei thought the prices might be a lot lower here, you must choose very carefully. some of these guys do a very sloppy job, wich is indeed worth 700 eur. But if you know a guy who does a good job, than sure we save some money.. Another thing w/ most of these repairmen is the ever-lasting- issue.They are lazy! it took drejas man 6 months or so to finish the car, and it took my friend 1 month to do just the engine bay and there was almost no rust. so alll in all i would say quality of service is much better in Nedherlands etc. but surely you pay more.

The price was not an issue, 700 or 1000€, whatever! I just want the job to be done well. At the beginning I’ve visited several workshops. Lot of them didn’t want to do this job, even for 1300€!!!???!!!! They said: “this car is old, lot of rust, get rid of this crap, why you want to invest so much money in it, buy a new car…etc”
This guy accepted the job immediately. He also has an old rwd car, so he understands why I’m so interested in renovation. It’s true, he is a little bit slow, but I don’t care, I’ll wait. Fun is not the straight line! |

Apolan, it took almost 1 year to get my car welded and repaired !!!
Not because he was lazy (he constantly works 12 + hours per day), but he worked on many cars "in parallel". But I'm happy that the man took my car and work with it, because nobody else wanted. Nevertheless he did a good job ...Regards Andrej |

Well thats exactly what im saying. many of them dont even want to waste time on something like that! Its like what the hell i'll pay you whatever it costs. and he'll go like "no no its not worth it, get rid of it etc.." i never heard a professional say that.
Lets just say there is many body-repair guys (the correct term eludes me at the moment =P) who opened their shop to make some easy money. like replacing the fenders or shatered windows etc.. max its a good thing you found a trustworthy fella, wish all the best w/ your build! |
