I'm thinking the panel beater is more likely an auto assembler then.

Twin cab

Post by pmgbus »

All damaged areas considered, I think it's a reasonable start for a twin cab, 2k-3k would be all I,d want to pay, I do have a donor chassis and vents if anyone on dsk ends up with it.

I offered your son 2500 on kc :) ,,where is the ute?
I would hate to think what a panel shop would quote at a guess 15-20k + just to get it in primer with all the work that needs doing and parts that need sourcing
