    Question Melb mechanical and painter/body shop advice needed

    So here's the deal,
    I have ~4k cash and the following parts
    2x 86 rolling shells, (one currently running w/ 4ac)
    2x complete silvertops inc ittb's, 1x stock wireloom
    1x microtech mapped for silvertop
    2x complete bigports one w blown head gasket, one seized i think.
    1x jdm rwd intake
    1x t50
    trueno front panels and lights

    So what i need to know is places i can go to to put all this stuff together and get 1 running registrable car out of it for the 4k I have to spend.

    What i think will need done is as follows:

    Spray painter: one of the shells painted white or black incl prep work

    Panel Beater: either a dinted quater panel and slight front radiator support area repaired OR a hammered in firewall repaired (the latter due to a botched s/t conversion)

    Mechanic: seals bearings etc replaced,
    the engine i would like to have silvertop bottom with bigport head running either the ITTB's or jdm rwd inlet manifold.

    Auto Elec: it would need to be wired up with either the microtech for the ITTB's or have a jdm wireloom installed for the rwd intake manifold.

    I would try to tackle all of it myself but I'm working 12 hr shifts and would really like to see something happen instead of them sitting there collecting dirt.

    So yeah any suggestions on reputable mechanics, painters, bodyshops or just general tips and info would be appreciated.

    Tyrone.
