Not really.
I asked Gary today how he felt working on a kombi, he said doesn't make any difference to him, dealing with the same shit either way 
I think he likes them  |

There's the clincher... Most don't like them and most don't know how to do it... That's why most peeps I know go to Hotrod and Kustom shops to get stuff done... Standard P&P shops like insurance work only... You gotta seek out the little guy that likes old shit and understands where your coming from... If he has a good client list and a folio of work to support his efforts, your on the right track....
Here's a call out to everyone in the same boat as Sam... If you find a good shop that can do any kustom or resto work (or any other work for that matter) to a high standard, please ask them if they would like a little free advertising on this forum... All I need is their info and contact guff and I will post it in the tech section listing. |

All the stuff to bolt back on the kombi is waiting waiting waiting at my place, gathering dust. There's literally nowt moe i can do without the body here now, if thats what you mean.
