My first foray as restoring a van, we bought Minty, sight unseen on the popular auction site so the first meeting was quite a baptism of fire. Rot wherever I looked. What did I expect? Probably exactly what I was seeing in front of me but somehow I had hoped for some kind of miracle. Still, having seen some of the other projects everyone is getting stuck into, she is far from dead That's probably enough rusty metal for one post. I was thinking to send her off for a complete sandblasting treatment straight away but now I think I will sand blast and repair sections at a time then get her a once over when all the major panel work is done. The rest of the horror show is here http://s1236.photobucket.com/user/Zoltantruck/library/VW Bay madness?sort=3&page=1
Your rust is the same as has been posted here many times!!!!!!!!!!!!.............Its fixable, good luck. Tony
The Uaz will get a bit of light camperisation one day. The bigger truck is all kitted out, we use that for a skiing trip this year
Welcome, looks like you have tackled a few interesting restos in the past. Sneaked a peek at your V8 works on "Photobucket"
