Steve,

Labor costs are WAY higher Downunder the national minimum wage is currently $18.29 per hour as compared to $7.25 in the USA.

I may have a go at fixing it my self by brazing up the holes and the follow what you noted below.

Rob - agree on chemical strip. After my resounding success using hardware I took the rest of the tanks to a local rust stripping
outfit. They came out exactly like yours. Ten years ago it only cost me $100 each.

As to the Swiss cheese I would take it to a radiator repair shop and see if they can close up the holes. Then POR the insides and
chassis saver on the outside. If they are just pin holes the two coatings may be enough.
