My old one was beat to hell on the sides before I got it, and from a few of
my misreads...My new one is clean.  For what it's worth, I think it's pretty
darned common.  There used to be a VW shop here in Denver that actually had,
on their price list, 'Vanagon Rear Wheelwell repair."  $225/side.

Let's see... I have three vanagons parked out in my driveway.... Nope, not a
single dent from sudden right turns. None look fixed either.
Sorry to ruin your bell curve.
