Title: FC Doors
Post by: nicolep on June 07, 2003, 06:21:39 AM
Please help.
I have a beautiful FC Special (red and white) in desparate need of repair. The main problem is the body, especially the doors. The sills have rusted out badly. Am I better off replacing the doors or should I get the doors re-skinned? What would the comparitive costs be?
:)This is the only bad rust fortunately. Mechanically she goes great, but the body is very tired. Once I get the doors done, then it will be time for a new paint job. Being a girl , every spray-painter I get quotes from just see dollar signs as soon as I walk in. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable & reasonable spaypainter in the Melbourne area and also what to do about my doors!
Much thanks.
