Hi Jen,

I’ve got a couple mates in Scotland but not 100% of their proximity to your intended destination. Both are keen to work on T3s/Vanagons as that’s what they do for a living. If you still have a rudimentary presence on Facebook, PM me and I can arrange an introduction. 

We usually visit Newport Beach a few times a year and will resume as Covid restrictions ease. Perhaps you would want to meet some of the Orange County Vanagon enthusiasts. We usually have a morning coffee meet at the Crystal Cove Starbucks.
