Hi Team,
I am looking to do a full Window out, new Canvas etc body restoration on my Westy Atlantic pop top, any recommendations for people that know their job on these buses in Yorkshire, preferably Leeds area?

I know somewhere Driffield , East Yorkshire if that's not too far out of your way?

Thanks,
That is a long way from me, as i will want to go and keep checking in to see the progress. But I will keep the it as a back up plan as i suppose price and quality may not be on my doorstep!

Not quite Leeds, but Dubtricks are in Dacre, Harrogate, and the guy who looks after out van Mike does resto work, he is in Leeming Bar, near (ish) Northallerton - but easy off the A1M. Probably not close enough, but thought I'd mention them. dubtricks have a web site if that's any use.

That sounds better! Harrogate is alot closer!
I have a few contacts i'm going to talk to, but, if there is a wizard at these buses that lives near I would prefer them to do it
:P

Do phone and visit first though. Great guys, do fab T2 restos and others, and have done bits of work on our van, know their way around them, but when I first took ours in Jez said he wasn't mad keen on T25's :shock: doesn't stop them working on them or doing a good job either though. Do check out their web site.
Also do check metalmick8y on here as well. Lots of folks have had resto work done by him and all seem well suited. Whoever you go with, it'll be lovely when it's finished :ok
OH painting ours with rustoleum ATM, not a bare metal job in any sense of the words, but should be enough till we have pennies for proper work and it's changed the colour and stopped the very slight seam rash and odd bubbles.
