Found a good autobody guy.

[R!zz0]

Hey all, I found an autobody guy who does rust repairs, sheet metal, PDR, frame, paint... pretty much everything to do autobody.

He'll show you his work which is top notch. I've spent some time looking at his work. He'll be doing some autobody work on my car next week. If you're interested in getting some work done for dirt cheap (he's been doing autobody work for 35 years) call him. Tell him "Riz with a Red car told me about you"

He is experienced and certified and does repairs, damages, panels, dents and dent scratches. Text him your pictures and he'll call you.

I think the horse penis in your avatar is larger and more clear than those pictures.

Maybe my phone is disagreeing with a script, or are those super tiny images for everyone else?

Those are known as thumbnails. Basically so-called links to photos. But not the same "links" like you are used to eating.

[ExtraSlow]

remember when we have to choose betwen [img] and [bimg] tags? aaaahhh those were the good old days.

[bjstare]

It looks like a toddler did the welding.

[jabjab]

cheap doesn't equal "good"

[JfuckinC]

lol what's it matter? looks 100x better than it did, it's not like he's repairing expensive cars.

[03ozwhip]

I cant see much, but it looks like it's all spot welding which is what you need to do for that thin gauge material. It never really looks good.

It get ground down and bondo'd anyways.

Agreed, there is a market for this kind of basic repair.

You'd certainly know better than I would.


I never said there wasn't a market for it. There's arguably a way bigger market for lower price/quality than there is for maranello/contemporary coachworks quality.

Got my car back.

How much did that cost you?

[R!zz0]

How much did that cost you?

$550

[suntan]

Wow, that's an incredible price.

[ExtraSlow]

Prefect price for a beater. Outstanding.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Better pictures, too.
So many critics 'round here.

[ExtraSlow]

Beyond has some folks who think maranellos is affordable. For those of us who have beaters, this cheapo guy seems wicked.

[bjstare]

Wow, that's an incredible price.

+1, I was gonna say something about "hard to tell with the pics/lighting/blah blah blah", but it looks awesome for that price.

[lee88]

The work looks good! The cost is very reasonable for an everyday type of vehicle.

[2020]

+1, beyond is filled with rich snobs now. I’ll take my beater to him as soon as I can spare enough Trudeau crb bucks.

[ExtraSlow]

I woulda dropped $500 on my beater towing rig before I sold it. The beyond member who bought it has done some cool stuff, hope he posts that soon.

[R!zz0]

The "beater" gets me around.

I'd let him widebody my 135i lol

[JfuckinC]

Did you call him yet? lesssgoooo

[M.alex]

But how long will the repair hold up .....

[ExtraSlow]

for $500 I'd hope it lasts at least 18 months before rust starts showing through.

[Disoblige]

But how long will the repair hold up .....
That's for the next guy to find out.

lol, I kid... :angel:

[ricosuave]

not too shab at all!

[ExtraSlow]

have a buddy with this, maybe worth a call to this dude.

Out of curiosity, how much would an autobody shop charge for rust removal like the picture above my post?

[03ozwhip]

Not rust, but I had a perfect trunk from a 2009 Honda civic that I just needed painted and they were going to charge me over 800 for it.

[ercchry]

The above mentioned premier shops won’t even touch rust repair

[Proyecto2000]

Just want to bump this thread and ask R!zzo how the repair is holding up and if anyone else had work done by Eli?

I got an estimate from him today to fix a door and rear quarter panel and the price seems very good.

[BokCh0y]

Sub'd

[DonJuan]

I gotta give this guy a call. Maybe he'll freshen the paint on my car for a reasonable price. 26 year old paint not what it used to be.

[Kloubek]

lol what's it matter? looks 100x better than it did, it's not like he's repairing expensive cars.

Exactly. At least he's welding in metal for strength rather than spraying in foam and bondo'ing over it. And it looks like he did a decent job of cutting out the cancer, so it should be at least somewhat long-lasting.

[Proyecto2000]

I am dropping off my Mustang on Monday morning and he is going to sand, bondo, prime and paint the entire drivers side of my car (lost control and hit an entire crowd at the local car meet j/k lol). I am hoping that it will look stellar I will keep you all posted.

[haggis88]

Defo keep us posted, i could use a little bit of repair work on my minivan

[ExtraSlow]

I need someone to do some small paint touchups in my wife's minivan. I know colorworks does it, not sure if there's anyone smaller or cheaper you guy reccomend.

[Proyecto2000]

Well I stopped by today to see the mustang. Body is completely sanded smooth and first coat of primer sanded. He should be doing a 2nd coat of primer and likely a final 3rd coat and painting this week. Then he will have to reinstall the door, trunk, spoiler, lights and all of the other stuff that he took off and I will take it home and install all the trims, gaskets and window that I removed at home.

I have a lot of before photos so now just need the after :clap:

If any of you want to give him a call his number is 403-899-6188 and his name is Ilie. He works out of his garage / shop in Delacour. Great guy and you can have a look at what he has done so far to my mustang and he can show you his before photos.

BTW I let him know that I was posting about his work on beyond.ca and that he would likely get a few phone calls from guys wanting good work at good value prices. I will send him a link to this thread once I post my photos as well.

[Clever]

Subscribed, might have to get this guy to repaint my bumper and fix some surface rust. Looking forward to pics.

[Graham_A_M]

I'll be using Eli to repair two of my trucks. I'll post pics when they're done.

[JordanEG6]

Subbed.

This guy looks like he does great work for the price point

[riander5]

I like this guy, may use him in the future for my new beater

[zechs]

I have a guy in Blackfalds who does decent work, but this guy seems like he would have been a better deal.

I'll keep it in mind for getting the rest of my truck box repaired.

[Proyecto2000]

Mustang was primed as of Monday evening. Hopefully picking up in the next 2-3 days :)

what's a good site to upload photos on to post here?

Think I saw your mustang when I dropped of my taco yesterday!!!

[Proyecto2000]

I been meaning to update everyone one on the Excellent work that Eli did for me. I have now washed my car 3 times and been driving it for a little over 2 weeks and the paint looks fantastic!

I brought the car to him with a thick and rough coat of primer applied over the body filler work that I had done in my garage due to large hail damage. Eli fixed a lot of spots were you could still see the hail and then he primed the car and painted it. He worked on my drivers side, roof and trunk. He offered to do a full car polish as well and some paint correction as i have a few scuffs on the bumpers but I declined for this one as I will likely be selling anyways.

I will personally be using Eli again to do an entire car for me once I find a new project this fall :)

[haggis88]

Nice work.

What sort of price did he end up being for all that?

[legendboy]

Taha has done some nice work at a reasonable price for me over the last few years. Its a local Calgary shop

https://tahasautobodyrepair.com/

[Proyecto2000]

Nice work.

Well because Eli signed up as a beyond user today I wont list what he specifically charged me but I can say that he was 1/3 or less of the quoted prices that I received off 2 other kijiji guys and from 2 small body shops on 17th Ave SE.

I should also mention that I brought the car dismantled for him to only remove the door and trunk and I assembled the interior/door handle/glass at home so that also saved me a few bucks on labor.

Did you see my Tacoma there?

Yup I saw it today and he was working on your roof when I stopped by for a ball park quote on another car that I am kicking tires on.

Cool thanks for the update haha. I haven't called him to follow-up as I didn't want to seem like I was rushing him, but I do miss that truck and could've used it this weekend. Appreciate the update though.

^ be careful Eli. Remember me with that long box Sierra that was smashed in the back? (The one by Strathmore)The silver one? My wife and I have yet to let you do your magic on that one, plus I have another truck (Chevy S10) that requires a bit of bodywork and a full repaint.

[Proyecto2000]

Eli wants to be a forum sponsor but he hasn't been able to sign up via the advertisers link that I texted him. I am going to try and help him get signed up as a forum sponsor as he has not been able to do so. I have messaged Rage to see if he can facilitate this somehow as he wants to officially offer his work to everyone.

Have him send a PM to kenny, he usually manages the sponsor stuff.

I'll pay for his sponsorship, he is good things and stuff, lol.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry for not replying earlier (I'm hardly on this forum, but i do check from time to time)

I'm glad you're all happy with Eli's work, like I said before he is awesome, and his work is outstanding.

As you know that I had done some work on my car with Eli and the work he did still looks like the first day I picked it up. Paint is holding up good and obviously no rust. I haven't seen him or talked to him for a while. I'm going to text him to see how he's doing.

Cheers guys.

[Clever]

Going to contact him to get quote!

[pauloaguil]

Is the number on the first page still accurate? And is it okay to text him rather than call? Very interested in getting some work done with him

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Yes, the number is still accurate. I called him first but he does text from that number.

Looking for some rust repair on a 2011 Ram 1500.

Eli still the go to guy ??

Lets see some more results fellas

i posted photos awhile back of the hail damaged mustang that he left looking like new. Eli is the man!

Oh ya that looked great. I want to know how shitty of a condition project car I can buy one day to bring to him.. everyone loves a challenge right?

[Proyecto2000]

all depends on how much you want to spend. Eli and I looked at a few crashed copart gems and he said that he could fix anything but he preferred side impact or rear impact collisions as they are much faster and cheaper to fix. Rust buckets he told me no problem as he would cut and weld new metal.
