Default phat drift damage...good brisbane panelbeater?

well i finally ran out of talent last night on my favourite piece of road and nailed one of those white posts with reflectors on. got it square on the rear left guard and pressed it down on my tyre. thankfully a legit mechanic was there with a highly ghetto solution that saved my tyre but made my guard look like modern art. i'll get some pics up later today if i can but im just looking for a good brisbane panelbeater, somewhere around the woolloongabba area would be nice but i'll trek anywhere if its cheap and good. thanks.

might be worth fixing your eseries considering its an XR

find yourself an ea wreck with a good *** end, and donate it to the panel beater, should knock few hundred off

not really as the 1/4 panel has to be 'picked' off to be replaced ie: drill out all the spot welds, so a donor car is twice the labour when a new skin from Ford would only be 350'ish retail

as i said when you first asked me - City Auto's at wooloongabba, or valley motor bodies... both have done work on my cars and were quite good, if a little pricey. offer cash.
