If I were you I'd by cylons' kit. (I did)

60 bucks for a points replacement kit. You can even leave the dizzy in the car while you're doing it!

Jump on it quick.

So this might be the hardest post I've put up here in 7 years. I'm selling my ute.

Honest, rust free, tidy, runs well, original panels and paint and everything works.

Is this yours mate?

Man I've always wanted a coupe...

Yeah, I know it's nothing. But enough to fail a roadworthy unfortunately.

There ya go.

Sure thing mate. I'll some pics this afternoon.

I did contact one place that came recommended through another forum. Western Smash Repairs in Sunshine LINK

The guy I met, Tony said this is a common repair for him. He did explain what you mentioned, what you see on the outside might not be the extent of what's really there. He assured me that they'll be thorough so the problem never comes back. I thought his initial quote was reasonable and I've decided to let them work on it (in a couple of weeks time)

Hey everyone,

Has anyone had some experience fixing this issue? I've found a small 2cm square(ish) hole in the front right chassis rail. Right where it bends up the firewall.

Without the gear I am unable to do this myself, so I'm asking for suggestions of workshops/smash repairers that you've used before and can commend their work.

Heya Chris,

Can you put me down for one please?

Pm'd regarding lever.
