Hi all
Anyone got any good experiences of respray work and bodywork in the Sussex area, near Brighton?
I went to VW Heritage but didn't get a lot of luck so if anyone has a direct experience or knows of a good body shop which will do an Autohomes Kamper I'd be very grateful.
Paint is very thin in places and we need some rust removing but I don't think it's a major restoration job thankfully. Famous last words!
Cheers

hehe,the point was .many ebayers and other chancers are reluctant to ever put up pickies that show anything of value to a buyer,

Here's some photos of various panels showing rust and variable thickness paint. Hope they're helpful!

well from the picks you have osr wing and prob inner arch to some extent, window area and or panel behind cover rotting
lower rear 1/4 will be need ing work , same again on the nsr
whats the sill /panel on fridge side and fuel filler area.
lower front panal is shot, cant see screen area etc.
you could just get a rub down and patch and blow it , then enjoy using it,.

If mine only had that small amount of rust showing I would be happy!!
