Default MK2 RS2000 respray

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

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 ?

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.

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.
