Club 80-90 Forums

Evening All. We have a 1980 T25 Joker Westy camper. Had it for about 12 years now. It had a fully bodywork job about 6 years ago, but many of the panels are showing some early signs of blistering around the seams, so it looks like it may not have been the best job.

I've approached a few bodyshops in Cheltenham, but thus far, no one wants to take it on as it's too much work to knock off in a  couple of weeks, but not really worth spending months on, in a high end body shop when it won't be using all the fancy gear that they'd be using on modern cars.

Last place recommended a look on the forums to try and find a one man band working out of a barn that would pootle away on it over the next winter as best option. 

Any recommendations?

cheers, Paul
 

Maybe worth posting a few images of the affected areas to see how serious the work needed maybe, sometimes worth doing yourself if not to serious.

Thanks Tony. One of the body shops took it in for half a day and went over the whole van and, from what they listed from that inspection, I wouldn't take it on as a self-help. Some of it is cosmetic on the body [panels but some if more structural underneath.

Understand, cosmetic repairs are doable by yourself to a certain extent but the structural issues need to be looked at a bit more closely and repaired accordingly by those with the correct equipment.

Post up some pics of what needs doing
