Front lower panel replacement

Post by serenitycamper »

Where is the best place to purchase the lower front section from?

The lower seam is a pile of rust held together with lashings of paint due to some idiot roller painting the bus :evil: god it drives me nuts!

I've bought a couple now from Schofields, and they are ok, no dramas in fitting them. Schofields offer club members a discount too :ok

Hi there, how much would it cost to get one of these front sections welded in ? I dont want to get ripped off as this is my first VW bus...

Also is there any one in North East Kent - broadstairs/Margate/Dover/Whistable that has experience of VW T25s...

Thanks
