Trying to find the best place to source new panel parts
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 used Alan H Schofields for my panels, his shipping prices are not too bad too, he uses UPS.
