Hi all!

Anyone know a good reputable workshop in Perth that can swap my STi parts into another shell?

Thanks in advanced!

Location Christmas Island? If so, sell parts and shell and import STi from Japan to the Island.

Location, yes. I (did) have an S204 but chassis is bent so I am finding out which is cheaper, swap parts into another shell or straighten chassis... either way I doubt it wont be cheap :/
I do have a permit to ship to Perth though haha

A mate of mine saw that shell not long ago while on holiday over there, no engine in it etc...

Why don't you take some detailed pics of the chassis and ring around for quotes.

Barry at Paramount Vehicle Services quoted the rear end damage on my STi from pics that I emailed him. The job ended up costing $100 more than the original quote and he fixed other stuff too. He has a brand new aligning jig and knows how to repair cars properly.

My Betty needed a tug on the jig too, you would never know from driving it now what it has been through.

Was not an insurance job either, all from my own pocket...

If you have a few months to do the conversion I can do it when home from FIFO work (2 on 1 off roster).

I have as much, if not more experience with ground up rebuild to GD body shells than anyone I can think of in WA.

I also have many near new or new MY06 body parts (spec C).
