Upper nose replacement

Post by Gordo89 »

Good morning,

My upper nose could do with being replaced the one side seems OK but the other has some rust on the "A" pillar, how involved is doing the repair?

I noticed the leak not long after buying the van and lifting the carpets and the extent of the rust when exchanging the blower.

What sort of costs would a shop charge as an estimate (sorry for how long is a piece of string question)

Do you have any pics please as I know it's on the cards for my van in the not too distant future. Ta.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

I could send you some photos by email, the panels are the same as every shop sell, i got the rhd one from vw heritage. Postage costs from jersey are very reasonable for bigger packages so i can keep the price down. I have 2 rhd and 1 lhd.
