Customer Comment from Sadie & Ross - T2 Belle
After doing what every Campervan fanatic tells you not to do and buying a late T2 Bay off EBay, it was clear we had bitten off more than we could chew. So when Border Restoration's business card fell out of a pile of Campervan magazines and brochures from the Oswestry Show we knew it had to be a sign! I can honestly say we have never looked back since sending that first email to Border. It was so reassuring to get a reply tat same evening. Suddenly the pangs of anxiety began to subside and se started to get excited about Belle's restoration...
Marc and Michelle have done a fantastic job! We can honestly say we trust Marc 100% with our beloved van. From our first visit to Border every stage of Belle's restoration was explained frankly and honestly along with regular updates on cost (a must if you have a limited amount of cash to throw at a project). Marc and Michelle encouraged us to make regular visits and we were always welcomed with a brew, a piece of cake and a wag of the tail from Fat Dog.
We really can't recommend Border enough. Belle looks like a different van now and Marc continues to be a source of knowledge and expertise which we're regularly able to call upon. We can't wait to start living the dream and embark on our Campervan adventures this summer! Check out the photos of Belle - she really does look the Belle of the ball!

Customer Comment from Sharon Lewis - T2 Campmobile
It's been great meeting Marc and Michelle who are total VW enthusiasts and really friendly and welcoming. My camper van was very well looked after and I got lots of work in progress info complete with photos and e-mails so I always knew what was happening.
The work they did was of a high standard and my van's been running a treat since they sorted it out. I'd recommend giving them a call - they have a lovely combination of being laid back but very professional which is reassuring. Your van gets looked after by Marc who has lots of VW experience and is happy to show you around the workshops, give you lots of detail about restoration, where to get parts and anything you need to know.
It's different from the usual garage experience - you get tea and a chance to chat and I really liked my camper being fixed by such nice people.
Customer Comment from Jayne Taylor - Bodhi Restoration
I never thought I could fall in love with a piece of metal....especially when he looked like Boggie. Thankfully Team Bebb saw his potential too, now look at him... Bodhi is born!
Border Restorations are honest, friendly, full of knowledge and advise, and treat your bus as if it was their own. Their work is spot on. Their communication and care keeps you informed at every stage of the renovation, and being able to visit was so exciting!
Mark is a perfectionist...you can't ask for more when your restoring a classic! Any questions you have get answered confidently, any part you need, they know where to find it (just look at Bodhi's pictures) Thank You for keeping Bodhi (and my dream of owning a VW camper) alive. Can't wait for our adventures to begin x

Customer Comment from Laura Pask
We were looking for a company to help us source and rebuild a camper. Marc & Michelle were so much more than that - from advising us when problems came up - fortunately not too often! - keeping us updated throughout with progress, double checking things with us and providing more cake than was probably good for us!
No question was too stupid, we always knew where our money was going, and we have a van that turns heads wherever he goes!
The guys that fitted his interior and tune his engine love working on such a great van, commenting on the quality of work that's gone into him and how fab he looks - we totally agree and look forward to working with them again in the future - we cannot recommend the team at Borders highly enough.
Customer Comment from Simon Taylor T25
"What a cracking place to take your van. The guys were fantastic. Working in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere they looked after both me and my van.
Every part of the restoration was explained clearly and accompanied with a cup of tea and some amazing cake. Thanks to the guys and girls I can enjoy the surf this summer and kick back in my van when I’m done. Any work you may need on your precious VW I would strongly advise giving the team a call. Be sure to let them know when you popping round so they have some chocolate fruit and nut cake ready.
Thanks again guys be in soon for a chat!"
Customer Comment from Chris and Liz
After making the big decision to spend hard earned money on a van, then mot's and repairs ect the time came to decide whether to get rid or fix it. But who is going to bring her back to life??
Seeing your work at shows confirmed that you were the right people for us and weren't too far from home. You were honest and upfront from the start and made us believe that we could have a van to be proud of even when it seemed impossible.
To Marc the perfectionist and Michelle the best cake maker in the world [ so good they even cure hangovers!!] nothing is too much trouble for you both and it's easy to see why you are booked up for years to come.
Thanks also for letting us come over on the weekends to get Gretel back together we really enjoyed it and just when you thought you were getting rid of us were going to back with the Bug!!!!!
