MK2 RS2000 respray

[Pella]

Hi everyone.. Just getting to the stage now with the esky that I want to get it on the road and out of the garage. I need some rust repairs done mostly at the rear in the boot floor and lower rear quarter. The car has been resprayed once over the original red, I'm looking at getting a respray but struggling to find anyone. If anyone knows a panel shop in the northern or western suburbs that would enjoying this project please let me know..

Thanks

Haha.. Sorry gents. In Melbourne. I'm in East Keilor.

All depends on dollars, plenty of top end work done in Melbourne for top $$ too.
You want a 3k re spray or a 15k job ?

[Pella]

Yeah prices do vary a fair bit.. Was looking at hopefully around the $7000 for rust repairs, prep body and spray? I'm not after a showcar but just a nice clean ride.

Have a chat to your local sheen panel shop, they do really good work. What colour are you going for ? More important what motor ! Love the old eskys

Think I will stick with the original monza red.. Got the 2 litre with twin dellorto webers! Hanging to finally hit the streets.. Lol. I might try the sheen panel shop and see if they are interested and at what price.

Hey mate just wondering if you sorted out a spray job yet. If not I may be able to help out

[Pella]

Thanks bud, I actually just got my car back with new paint a few weeks back.

Thanks anyway

No problem, I only just came back to the forum after a lengthy absence and saw your post. Hope it looks as smick as you hoped, throw a pic up even. Can never see enough of escorts IMO

[Pella]

Spent around $8000, respray 2pak monza red and some rust repair work on rear quarters and boot area. Will try post a pic soon.

Cheers 👍
