Body work rust
Well the time has come to start getting some quotes on bodywork. The vans an autosleeper trident. The usual places are needing to be replaced. Sills,steps,area around fridge vent and around some of the windows!!!! I live in the Stafford, west mids area, can anyone recommend any decent body shops in this area ?

Re: Body work rust
Could do with a list of T25 bodywork locations in the wiki. heres a list of general garages though may be what you need in there.

Re: Body work rust
Is doing the work yourself an option? I bought myself a little MIG last year and, although my first attempts weren't pretty, it went through it's MOT and looks ok. just sayin'

Or contact member Chickenkoop. Usually both of us do these jobs in west mids but I'm stuck in Suffolk for a month or so.

Re: Body work rust
There's no chance of me doing it, over the last couple of years it's get the t cut out to get rid of the rust Staines and slap on the hammerite!! But now holes are starting to appear it's time to get some quotes. It would be ideal if there was someone local who has worked on T25s . I've got no intentions of getting rid of the van so I want it done right so it will last another 20 yrs
