I was always a fan of Grand Tourer, always bought my gear through them and had planed to one day take my car there for work/restoration.
What other places are there now to take a vehicle to, that would do high standard original quality work that can be trusted ?
Preston Panels. Jason is as good as anyone.
Do they do full restoration work ?., as in a similar manner to what Grand Tourer was or the now GTshop ?.
Yep!!!!! As good as GTR. Every bit as good. Jason has a True Blue H3 and his brother has a Track Red H3.Quote:

They are also the original makers of the GT Lounges.
Thanks Norm, so they obviously source parts as well to complete a resto ?.
Everything. They have a bead and sand blasting business too.Quote:

How do these types of relationships go with business like this, do they do a estimate price up front or is it worked out when completed ?.
I’ve never been down this path before with restoration work being done by professionals, I understand that a exact figure won’t be agreed on from the start but how does this process usually work/arrange ?.
Not sure mate, normally they look and give you an estimate range once they know what you're looking for with conditions.
Yeah that is what I would have thought, and I understand that estimates usually get blown out and that is understandable in this business when XW/Y is mentioned.
But I am prepared to pay that little bit extra for trustworthy/genuine work.
For some unknown reason I just don’t have faith/trust in places like the GTshop, I don’t know why, but I don’t.
Jason treats each car as a project, they're not a production line. Old school setup but quality work.
