Rear body panel replacement process

[778NCFJH59]

My bongo has rusting wheel arches on both sides

I intend to source replacement panels

My local fitter is happy to do it but is worried about the proximity of the Little Movers fitted kitchen in the back and is suggesting this needs to be removed b efore he starts the job

Is there anyone there that has replaced the panels on a bongo with a fitted kitchen - what advice would you give me please?

You really need to remove the inside panels to do a proper job and to reduce the fire risk.
