MG TD TF 1500 - Body Panel manufacturer

I read somewhere on this forum where there is a good panel manufacturer located in Melbourne, Australia. Would someone be able to tell me who that may be please.
Thanks.

They are actually in Ballarat. I have not bought any parts, so cannot comment on prices.

They have a good reputation for quality.

In my opinion, for what ever it's worth, Kilmartin is the best panel maker for our cars out there. Buying my side panels from a US distributor was a shipping cost decision. I had to modify both panels, but one was terribly wrong with bad welds and physical size etc. Had I have known this, I would have swallowed the shipping and got them from Kilmartin. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. I have almost $1000 in these two panels! PJ
