Palfinger crane Respray and colour change.👇
This Palfinger crane has undergone a full Respray which we colour coded to the cab of the NPS truck, the same truck we repaired and painted at an earlier time.

The owner Peter is a Kombi enthusiast himself. He absolutely loves what he does.

He also understands the importance of doing things properly the first time.

Paint and body filler can hide everything.

What he sees a lot is Kombis coming I that have been repaired and the rust has just been coated over.

If you want someone to show your Kombi the same love as you would then bring it down to the Kombinator.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 ❓

The “Type 2” Volkswagen can now sell for a whopping $202,000! Many European Volkswagen enthusiasts travel to Australia to buy top-of-the-line vintage kombis because they’re in better condition than their UK counterparts. This is because the salt thrown on roads in the UK during snowy weather has deteriorated the outside of many UK Kombis, de-valuing their resale price.

Aesthetic and Value Reduction

- 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀: Rust on visible body panels (doors, fenders, hood, trunk) not only detracts from the car’s appearance but also reduces its market value.

- 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: Extensive rust damage can be costly to repair, requiring significant restoration efforts to remove and replace affected parts.

Don't let your Kombis value deteriorate just because of rust. Get the Kombinator to take a look at it today.

Here is a bit of spray booth action

Sometimes all it takes is a fresh lick of paint to bring your pride and joy back to life.

It is so important to do it right the first time though so you are not having to redo it again in a years time because the rust has come back.

At the Kombinator we will always do it right the first time.

Do you love to work on classic cars?

If you answered yes to the above then we want to speak with you.📞

We have so many people wanting to get their classic cars restored that we have 2 positions available.

We are looking for an experienced panel be**er who would like to get away from doing insurance repairs and really put their skills to the test restoring classic cars.

We are also looking for a spray painters labourer who is willing to learn the trade. We are willing to train but would love it if you have had previous vehicle prepping experience. Its pretty easy to learn though.

Great working conditions and good pay rates available based on your experience.

If you are interested in either position either call Aaron on 0400166249 or Peter on 0478739629.

Parts are hard to find when it comes to restoring old classic cars.

That's why we make our own.

If you can't find the part you are after for your classic car then you need to get in touch with us today.

We can either repair the part you have or make you a new part.

Nothing is a problem when you go with the Kombinator for all your restoration needs.

😱 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘁😱

Rust can significantly impact the condition, value, and safety of a classic car, especially in Australia where varying climates can accelerate the corrosion process. Here are some key facts on how rust affects classic cars in Australia:

1. Climate and Environmental Factors

- Coastal Areas: Australia has a vast coastline, and cars in these regions are more prone to rust due to the salty sea air, which accelerates the corrosion process.

- Humidity: High humidity levels, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, can create a conducive environment for rust formation.

- Rainfall: Frequent exposure to rain can cause moisture to accumulate in the car's metal parts, leading to rust.

𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Check your pride and joy regularly for signs of rust. Early prevention can be less costly than the cure.
