Thread: Urgent help req Melbourne

What a bugger, unfortunately i dont know any beaters or good welders otherwise and i'd be happy to pass on the details. Where in Melbourne is he JC ?

They are in Albury ATM, heading for Melb tomorrow. Not sure where exactly they are staying, I think he has a friend in Narrewarren (Sp?)to stay with.
Simon (Joker) has supplied me with a few names and ph numbers, so they are having a phone around tomorrow or Monday. Thanks Simon!
Bet they wish they had taken a 130CC these lightweight Jap 4bees aren't really up to it!

It is an Extra cab 4x4 2003 Courier that was carrying a traytop camper. After an impact with a washout the chassis is now severely bent behind the cab. The camper has been removed and left in NSW, and the vehicle is now in Melbourne. The problem is they can't get on the Spirit of Tasmania to get back down here for repairs until next week at an exorbitant cost, so are chasing someone in Melb to do a quick repair ASAP. It will be an insurance job, and time is of the essence as he only has a few weeks remaining of time off. What I am basically after is a recommendation from anyone here for a competent and honest panel shop that can do the job ASAP, so they can go back up to pick up the camper and at least have a reasonable holiday, what is left of it

PM any details etc and I'll forward the contact number/s etc to Paul tonight/ tomorrow.

Thanks heaps in anticipation of help

Thanks everyone for your help, the vehicle is going to be assessed tomorrow, took Simon (Joker) 's advice and tried one of his recommendations, Winfield Automotive in Port Melbourne. Apparently VERY helpful and went out of their way a fair bit on a Saturday, and even offered to deliver the vehicle to the boat to be returned to Tas if it ends up they come home and abandon the holiday!

So, waiting now to see if it is a write off now, or not the initial inspection has revealed some pretty serious problems, possibly even req a rechassis which will be probably too expensive

Again, thanks to all
