It looks good that. Bet the customer is well happy

 

 

The customer is indeed well happy, Ben has done a great job. I taxed the car today just so I could drive it home and now it's in the garage.

Many thanks to Ben and the guys at Mill Road Garage. :highfive:

 

It was our pleasure.

 

We are glad you like it.

 

Thanks to everyone else for their nice comments.

 

Cheers

 

Ben

Cheers.

I am hoping to blog about the campers but it all depends on if the customer is ok with me doing it.

 

I would have thought it would be ok though as the first one is just a shell that i will be rebuilding and then the customer will be having it back as a shell to build up himself.

Really enjoyed that read, always makes me feel so motivated to achieve the same standards with my projects! I do servicing, restoration work and camper conversion work and I see a LOT of bodges which makes me distrust garages.  It's so heartening to see someone who works with your quality and transparency - an ambassador for the trade!

I'll be doing some restoration to a T25 in the New Year, so I'll be interested to see your project if your customer lets you post!

 

Keep up the good work!

Have just read the whole thread Ben and I have to say your work is superb. You are a credit to the garage that employs you and you clearly enjoy your work. I now have a bit of motivation to get back in the garage again :gimme:
