This kind of job is only for a vehicle that is a true collectible. There is all kinds of hidden damage. Full restoration of this Vanagon does not make economic sense. This is not a Bondo job. Drive it until it falls apart, then part it out.

Hey list, I'm tackling the rust on my 80 Westy. The link below has three pictures I took yesterday of the rustiest spots. If you have any advice on bodywork and rust removal, please have a look see and maybe help a novice get started on restoring his dream barge. :) Best wishes, Chris Gkikas 80 Westy, "Guyute" |
