We have also been working on other projects which are not splitscreens but are still vw
This T25 came in for pre season restoration, the roof was rotten under the poptop.
So we installed a new roof skin and gave it a full respray in the original colours.
New roof
Installed and with the poptop bonded back on.
Paint prep
Full repaint in L90D
We are just fitting the vehicle back up before we give it a flat and polish and add a few extra items then its ready for a summers camping!

Forgot to ask you earlier Will, how soon could you work on my Doka? ( might be a bit more than just the drop-gates though!)

Hi Pete
We're really quite booked up for the next 6 months but I'm sure we can sort something out and get it done before the summer is over.
