Club 80-90 Forums

Hi, I have a 1982 T25 2.0l Aircooled and the front window aperture has rusted right through.
I've bought a donor front end on eBay, delivered by a confused TNT courier yesterday after my local garage recommended that I buy a front end so that they could cut the old part out and weld in the new.

Went down to the garage today and they don't want to know.

Anyway...what I need to do now is find a decent welder living in Cornwall that is willing to do the job.

Can anyone recommend a welder/garage etc that would be willing to do the job.
I really don't want to go down the road of taking the van to a VW Specialists as from experience they are not what they are cracked up to be (no offense to any VW specialist reading this ) ...and they charge through the nose as well.

As always any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for that. I shall give him a call on Monday.

I'm pretty sure his name popped up when I was looking for someone to fit my new engine...we never got hold of him though and ended up going with Nigel Alan

This is the listing picture that was used on eBay.

I'll take some of the front of my van when the rain stops.
