Managed to spend a bit more time on the camper today. The remainder of the interior has been stripped out.
Found a small hole on the inside of the rear side panel, rust towards the base of the right hand battery box and corrosion / a 6"x 1" long hole on the front of the front left hand side wheelarch. Sorry no pictures yet as I forgot my phone.
When the repray was done in 2005 there was obviously a new right hand side rear panel fitted............. I could tell by the silver unpainted metal and white "grab it" that is holding it in place.
Not quite the quality job I have been reading about on here.
I think I'm at the point where I think I need to see the replacement panels to know where to start cutting back to. Here's my shopping list :
Component .......................... Supplier ............................... Quality
Left hand inner sill.................. Schofield .............................. 1.5mm same as original
Left hand outer sill ................. Schofield .............................. Schofields
Right hand inner sill ................ Schofield .............................. 1.5mm same as original
Right hand outer sill ................ Schofield .............................. Schofields
Right B post ......................... Schofield .............................. 1mm mild
Right wheelarch front .............. Schofield .............................. Top Quality
Left rear wheelarch tall ............ Schofield .............................. Schofields
Rear right battery box ............. Schofield .............................. 1mm as original
Lower rear 1/4 panel .............. Schofield .............................. German
Cargo floor repair .................. Schofield .............................. 1mm as original
Seat belt repair panel right .........Schofield.............................. 1mm
Sill & side panel ..................... Schofield.............................. "Not klokkerholm"
Rear wheel arch liner, left ........ VW Heritage ........................... Repro
Rear wheel arch liner, right ....... VW Heritage........................... Repro
Front of wheel housing.............. VW Heritage ......................... VW Classic
My T25 is an early one so doesn't have wheel arch liners so I want to put some on, if they fit. I'm also not sure if I have properly identified the correct replacement part to cover the big hole where the rock n roll be used to be fixed, above the rear wheelarch to the left of the engine cover
I would be grateful for any comments about my selection of replacement panels. Are they going to be of decent quality, are they likely to fit properly, any tales of joy or sorrow using these parts, or suggested alternatives much appreciated
