Author of the Haynes VW T2 Bay Restoration Manual

In 2013 we were asked by Haynes to write a manual based around the restoration of a VW T2 Baywindow Bus. The result documents that real project from collection to road-ready, and it's still helping owners around the world today.

It says something about how we work: methodical, documented, on the cars we know inside out. Whether your bus needs a single panel let in or a multi-year restoration, the same approach applies.

A car on the lift, tools, the daily scene

The bus came in tired and came out perfect. Honest about what it needed, fair on the bill, and a real pleasure to deal with along the way. Wouldn't take a VW anywhere else.
