I guess we just moved the problem along, a dodgy operator will always cut corners and shiny paint hides a multitude of sins.

The shop im at, actually had to do a 1/4 replacement on a VE...as a rectification due to a shop that did just that...trying to repair it. And we had to follow the GM-H guidelines for repair (you can buy a VE repair manual from Holden).


The smash repair industry has gone beoynd hammer and filed, as car construction and material changes...simply heating up and a section of steal destroys all ghe strength in some metals these days...
