About to begin my restoration on a '72 T2. I've looked up places like justkamper, VWheritage, etc for body panels but I'm not sure who makes the best.
In need of door, bumpers, mainly the lower section of the T2 body.

Does any fellow members had experience with the above stores or can recommend other places that makes them? I work overseas now so anywhere outside of Aus is fine for parts. Got to ship it aboard anyways 🙂

Thanks in advance !

Or use cuts from donor cars!
They're the ones that are going to need the less tweaking and trimming to get how you want / need them 😉

I happen to be wrecking a 74 bus at the moment, and a mate that is wrecking half a dozen!
We're both happy to ship out anytime!

I used Alan H Schofields for my panels, his shipping prices are not too bad too, he uses UPS.
