I had a chat with Kombi Klassics in Wareham, and passed my insurers on to them. They reckoned a new panel. Got my vote!

Cheers Jim, yes there's an interior panel I believe. Hopefully unaffected?!?! The hob and sink etc are all there.jimpainter wrote:Did you have any interior behind that panel?

Interesting to see that the original sprayer didn't even bother taking the fuel filler surround out before painting ?

Why'd you say that? They did actually. It was sprayed separately.Ian Hulley wrote:Interesting to see that the original sprayer didn't even bother taking the fuel filler surround out before painting ?

Jolly good, personal taste I guess ... it's usually a sign of a quick blow-over job.

Had the assessor around this morning. He agreed it'd need a new panel. Hopefully the insurers don't pay silly buggers cf economic repair... They are holding the other party fully liable mind

lets hope more that the other party accepts liability
as for the filler surround , its a personal taste as to bleck or body colour, you see a few vans with the fridge vents and all sorts colour matched as well.
hope its soon back and running for you, have you sourced a new side for it yet?

It'll all be insurance Micky, but I trust Kombi Klassics know their onions. He's perfectly drivable at the mo at least.
(and yes our vents ARE body coloured..

I'm refurbing the wheels myself. They're normal steels. I'm wirebrushing them and rust-eating hammerite back and front. Them hammerite white undercoat, with VW pastel white sprayed on top, plus a coat of lacquer. We've then got the chrome hub caps to go on top.
