    ok here is the story, i am about to take delivery of an american imported VW camper van. its a late model type 2. mechanically its sound with 2 small welded rust holes and recently renewed window seals. however as it is over 30 years old it is showing some ding/dents and scratches. I am looking for some advice on a good panel beater/classic restorer around dublin who i can talk to about bringing my baby back to life. Specifically i am interested in a complete exterior respray. any help advice or information is appreciated. thanks

    I looked at getting my van under body sealed and was given this guy’s web site. In the end I didn’t need to get anything done so I don’t know what he’s like but when I spoke to him on the phone he seamed very down to earth but fussy – in the way that he’s proud of the work he does and does a good job

    I'd second Krazy

    If you plan on selling it in the not to distant future I'd nearly hold off on the respray as alot of people like to see the original paint as it proves it isn't full of filler
