what? his seatbelt female ends are in that picture... what are you asking?

I'm actually about to make a speaker box, one for a subwoofer in the rear well. I still think fiberglass sticks to steel damn well, and it's an old wives (err, husbands) tale that it'll fall off in a few days...

I wouldn'ta done THAT job with fiberglass though, needs more strength. I just did smaller holes with it. That's a good job there.

haha, I shower pretty regularly, once a day alright but not always right after working on my car, hence the stench.

Who did the work and where in the GTA?

Im about to pick up a new shell for my car and it does have rust on it since im not going to the US for cars anymore (too much hassle and cost) so I want to find a good body man in that area since my car club operates out of Toronto as well and may be able to get a deal or something.

PM me the body shop's name so I can give them a call since the quality of the work is definately there.

The name of the place is "AutoWeld" - complete undercarriage rust repair & fabrication

The name of the guy who runns it (he works alone) is "John"

You can find the place here:

325 Nantucket BLVD. #25,
Scarborough, Ontario
M1P 4V5

His phone number is 416-288-6866


I have to warn you though, never judge a book ny it's cover

What I mean by that is, when you see this place, it doesn't look like much. It's a single garage shop with only enough space inside for 1 car at a time. No fancy computers or tools or anything "high-tech" of any kind

It's a small shop with a hydrolic lift and that's about it. The owner doesn't exactly come off as the friendliest most cheerful person either ... but he's still a stand-up guy who obviously knows what he's doing. He won't try to screw you over or anything like that. He's a really good guy.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you decide to have him do any work for you !!

Good Luck

If you have to use a shop, that;s usually the best kind to go to. If the guy's got all the "hight tech" toys and fancy tools, that's usually because he's been ripping people off and can afford it. Also stay away from guy's that can "decorate" their shop with all kinds of fancy automoblie memoribilia.

Where in Canada is this gentleman?

I need help. My pans are worse than many that I have seen on the forum.

So please if you can, provide a number or an address. The pics speaks for themselves.

RE: Where is this gentleman

Thanks for response. He is about 5 hours from me in Northern New York. This will require some research. Getting the car there may require some work, thought, and creative transporting.

Thanks again.
