good grief... where was your van from to rust like that? i got one that same color, and same shape i'm parting out because of the rust... your front windshield will have to be removed and new metal welded in (if its rusted thru) to keep it from getting any worse. Bondo WILL make it worse. also the other areas need metal welded in there.. Bondo is not for rust holes.. (if you want your van to last) good luck, you'll need it :<) chris |
