Hello,

I am not sure I am posting in the right place, though this is an important question, to me, and it has taken me sometime to find you.

I am looking to have some body work done on my van this summer, I live in Whistler, so I can use my motorbike in the meantime.

I bought my van in Eurkea, CA. four years ago and it is solid. This is my fourth VW Van, and I'd like to keep this one. There needs to be some floor work done as well, and I'd like to have tubular/baja bumpers installed front and back.

At one time, I took another van to Mark's Misc. Repairs in Surrey, though I cannot seem to get in contact with that guy. I am not looking for something from a magazine, I am not that showy and I like to go camping.

It's pretty cool looking already, and I've had quite a bit of work done mechanically. I just had the transmission replaced which took a long time. Azad at Bert's transmissions did the work.  He was very very helpful. It runs well.

Anyway, if anyone has a reccommendation, or is interested in doing this work, please let me know.

Thanks.

Britt

Thanks for this. Any other suggestions would be great.

I think going to a shop might be quite expensive, I'd think there might be someone that does that kind of work for $ - maybe not around here.

I appreciate the suggestion. Thanks.
