Gidday All,

Well today I am disgusted in myself, side swiped a gutter going down Westbury Rd and I need to fix the fuc%ing damage.Posted Image

My boy took my attention for a few seconds and before I knew it we were kissing the gutter, not blaming my little man because he wasn’t driving it was all my fault, just goes to show how taking your eyes of the road for just a few seconds can lead to a pissa of a situation.

Now I am chasing names of persons / businesses capable of repairing the damage preferably in the Launceston area or the greater North.

Any help much appreciated.

Tru - Wheel in Lonnie will charge you $150, that is his flat fee every time, he is sometimes lower, depends on how hard the job is. The advantage over Ian in Hobart is that he can paint the rims and do a good job of painting them, unlike Ian, who only does the lathe work. I had Tru-Wheel do a rim a few years ago (VR Clubby rim) it came out better than the rest! :D

Time wise it may take him 1-2 weeks, he has plenty of work on and hates ppl trying to push him, just a tip

Cricky Craig you have customised that black commodore of yours, I thought you were just rebuilding the motor but now it looks like a ricer....LOL.

Thanks for the advice all spoke to Dave at Tru Wheels today and he will fix my mistake for me, will post some photos of before and after just for anyone interested.
