PANEL BEATER?
Kia ora all, my 17 year old son worked hard & saved to buy himself his first car........"Maggie", a purple 1972 Austin 1300 "landcrab". Quite distinctive, you may have seen it around.
He was well informed of the potential ongoing cost of purchasing a vehicle of that age, but wanted something to suit his personality : ), and its a great father / son regular maintenance project!
The seller arranged for a new WOF which it passed "with flying colours"............but not sure how, as when taking it in for a WOF check yesterday ( only 5 mths later ), "a few" issues need attending to.
So back to work for my son to raise the funds to remedy these issues ( likely to get a wee bit of help from the bank of Mum & Dad, its his pride & joy, and he has had a tough year for a number of reasons )
The reason for this post is to see if anyone out there knows of a reputable, reasonably priced panel beater able to deal with perhaps the biggest issue......some rust in the floor & right hand sill.
Maggie turns heads wherever she goes, its awesome to see the smiles on the faces of other motorists & pedestrians alike as she passes, so it would be great to keep her on the road.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Many thanks in advance from myself & my son.
Best way to use leftovers?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
