Fella there does vintage and classic restorations

Shock horror! For the moment I thought doenut82 had gone a bit non-PC there.

Hi, just wondering if you found somewhere in Shropshire? My T25 is in dire need of some TLC on the bodywork and a bit of welding, I contacted Border Restoration but they said they just did T2 split/bays.

Aljo what is it you require doing? Maybe put some photos up, so we can have a look, I see from the photo you have a autosleeper trident, which normally do suffer from rust/rot.

tell me one that doesn't and yes good pickies do help advise

Think so, has he just moved prem ?

Here's some pics of Sonny, our van with some showing the worst of the rusty bits!

Suggestions of places in Shropshire/wed mids would be great - I have contacted MVE telford so far which may be an option, though they have quite a lead time at present.
Thanks!

Something wrong with venturing into wales? lol

Not at all - I'm Welsh anyway! So yes, Wales is on the radar too - can't believe I missed it out!

Typical autosleeper, cant really see the gutters much, if I was doing the job the bit that would concern me would be the gutters and rear trailing arm mounts and probably the arms as well, chances are it will be shot under the roof as well. Perhaps the words "don't go there" would spring to mind (referring to the roof) the rest is no big deal

Gutters - yeah, probably best not to go there! Alas, they're full of Sikaflex (and still leak!)

don't want to worry you but depending how good you want it it might not be a viable project. As said the worrying bits are the trailing arm mounts(may be ok) and everything above and including the gutters. May be better to sell and buy another one. Unless you are in love with it then go for it. To do it right the roof would need to come off.You could get it almost as good as knew (at a cost)
