Recommendations for respray/bodywork nr Brighton

[Wardy66]

Hi all
Anyone got any good experiences of respray work and bodywork in the Sussex area, near Brighton?
I went to VW Heritage but didn't get a lot of luck so if anyone has a direct experience or knows of a good body shop which will do an Autohomes Kamper I'd be very grateful.
Paint is very thin in places and we need some rust removing but I don't think it's a major restoration job thankfully. Famous last words!
Cheers

hehe,the point was .many ebayers and other chancers are reluctant to ever put up pickies that show anything of value to a buyer,

well from the picks you have osr wing and prob inner arch to some extent, window area and or panel behind cover rotting
lower rear 1/4 will be need ing work , same again on the nsr
whats the sill /panel on fridge side and fuel filler area.
lower front panal is shot, cant see screen area etc.
you could just get a rub down and patch and blow it , then enjoy using it,.
