Hi Angus.  Im in the same situation as you.  In vancouver - need bodywork.  I took my van down to Zoltan in Seattle.  All he does is work on Vanagons and he does a lot of bodywork.  Hes a regular list contributor.  he gave me a reasonable quote and with the CAD/USD exchange I doubt I would find a better deal here.
I intend to take the van down and leave it with him to do the work when I can find 2 weeks where im not using it.
Might be worth a look!Brett
