i think benny thinks that all east coast vanagons look like that... NOT.. that blue one is scary.. where are you from? denmark? what do they use on the roads over there to melt the snow? hydrochloric acid? that is some nasty rust.. honestly, i would find another van with a better body.. the only people who fix rust like that are the crazy blokes in england :<)
if its a decent runner and your just lookin to have a beater, then yea, slap some fiberglass over the holes yourself and it'll last you about a year maybe by then the heads will be leaking so you wont feel bad about parting it out :< ) but seriously, dont waste your money on professional body repairs on this, unless its some extremely rare model or something.
