Subject:      Rust Repairs
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I am looking at 2 Bodyshop quotes for seam rust repair.  Our '87 Westfalia
has a small spot on left rear quarter panel that may be from the inside,
some seam rust at the front seams on the same side and a small bubble by the
camper hook ups.

One quote is for a Minimum of $560 and a high of $800 based on what they
find when they open up the left side.  The other quote is similar at $992.00

If we get this fixed, will it solve the rust problem?  Should the interior
camping stuff be pulled to go after it?  Should I have the Bus rustproofed
after the work is done?

The Bus is not driven in the winter here in Northern Indiana much and is a
3rd vehicle.  Also, the rust is not a large problem. (Yet.)  the bus is in
very nice shape for an '87 and well taken care of.  Any comment appreciated.
