Avoid Simmonites!! Had a very bad experience with them, in short had a ****ty quality, ****ty refurb and promised items not present. Then he tried to charge me more for it.

My custom build is still on his web site now, 16k 1995 300tdi "refurb".

Note the lack of coverings on
Seat boxes, patched up front passenger seat, pop riveted rear wings, second hand chequer plate covering the original badly dented wings as can be seen In the pictures. No mud flaps or side steps as promised.

"refurbed" wheels were actually salvaged from damaged vehicles, none were pristine. The paintwork was orange peel in places.

Even the tinted windows that I was to pay £400 was bubbled scratched and looked ****.

Rant over but I still have a bitter taste!
I was just about to take a trip out to them in March. What I am reading here is that they seem to have little regard for integrity or ruining their reputation by doing shoddy work. Thank you for saving me the trouble.

I have been doing a bit of research and came across Simmonites because of their ability to do LHD conversions.

I wonder now if all the others can do them just as well.

Any advice on which restoration shop meets LZ member's approval would be much appreciated.
