is there a manual for recommended times to fit panels etc. I am having my 1971 vw type 2 baywindow restored so far, fitting new front panel, two rear panels, two sill, two replacement doors, two wheel arches. then sandblast, respray, underside and top, and all parts put back on. No interior work or mechanical work has been undertaken the mechanic reckons he has done 253 hours So i want to break down each part to see how long it all really took. I should add that the camper is being restored in italy, so i may be paying for their siesta time as well. I enclose pic of camper

10/27/03 ratwell Yeah, the manual is called "The sky is the limit". No two shops are the same, no two quotes are the same and no two busses are the same. I'm afraid it's a long process especially if you are doing the inside as well.
09/03/03 Neil Doesn't sound too bad for the time as long as you don't see waves when you look down the sides It takes alot of time to make a repair on any big flat surface look right It took me over a months work doing the sanding on my 71 and it was in pretty good shape dents but no panel replacement if you are happy with the finish with out thinking about the cost be happy and know your money was well spent
