Ok, the time has finally come to get the bodywork on my rs restored. I was hoping you guys would be able to recommend who I should go to. I'm in Brisbane by the way. Im looking at getting full back to bare metal done (I don't want it bodged) I know it isn't going to be cheap but have been given approval by the financial controler (wife). I also want to get the engine rebuilt at the same time so recommendations for that would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance, Matt.

i would hope smooting out all the little car park kisses would be part of doing the body work and covered in the $65+ an hour part of the quote.
i could see the paint work costing maybe $2500 for quality job.
the paint would cost them about $400 so costing you about $600 to $800
they are wanting to charge you about 45 to 50 hours just to put the paint on.
after they have charged you about 80hours to do the body work
