Well I started this thread in March and I still haven't got the camper back yet! I have been in several times to see it though and it looks like a new van now! Whilst its in there I have ordered new bumpers front and back, tinted the windows, got a twin headlight grill and trimmed the drivers/passenger and sliding door in a black leatherette material.
As its gone back together each bit has either been cleaned or sprayed, they have even fitted new window rubbers as the old ones shrunk. New number plates with GB in have also been fitted.
Hopefully I shall be picking it up by the end off the week :D

I get the feeling that when Im in there the guys working on it have enjoyed it as the body shop is normally used for commercial/insurance work and quick turnaround is needed, this job definatley hasn't been rushed :!:

Need it, want it, must have it back NOW!

I'll post some pics when I do get it back - soon!

SHE'S BACK! :D

Yippee I've got her back, picked up the shiny rust free sparking, gleaming cool looking refurbed camper on Monday and haven't stopped smiling yet.
I will get some pictures up as soon as I can. :ok
