Can anyone tell me if there are any Range Rover Classic specialists doing resto's in Australia?
I'm in Melbourne, but any state would be fine.

Thanks

Les Richmond in Thmastown would be where I would start if I had the money, they can do some great work. If you're really cashed up, the Storm Series they do is awesome.

Mine is being done by Yandina Paint and Panel who also trade as Aussie Resto's. While not Range Rover specialists they are doing a great job. Paint going on this week should have some pics by Friday

To give an idea they weren't happy with rear wheel arches ( original) they have filled and prep' them so when painted they will look new. Same thing everywhere. I told them original panel gaps were like 3/4" but they won't them to be straight. Well, let's see how she comes up.

Would love to be able to do resto work as a job. I think it would be extremely full filling as such, seeing the end product when completed. The only downside would be that the car wouldn't be your own.
Love watching the shows on tv about it all, and there's heaps on the web about it too.
