Wow, what an incredible thread, thank you!
As a first time T25 owner and total novice at all things mechanical (my T25 is the first vehicle I've actually owned) you've inspired me to learn to do all the work on my van myself even the cosmetic stuff. Cheers

Sid , I've only just picked up on your thread mate and I am in awe of what you have done with the van. The step by step repairs when looking back over the pics must give you a real sense of pride mate. Well done...Have you ever gone down to Pau, I was there doing the French para course years ago. Thanks for the pictures.

I made the repair panel from the old back bumper so being twice as thick as the stuff I cut out it should last another 3 or 4 years before needing any further attention?
Tommorow I will skim it with a little filler then flat and paint ..........
