Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I want to finally address some bubbly paint and light rust where a
body panel was welded in place way back before I got the westy. The
rust has not gotten any worse in the last seven years, but I want to
finally get around to taking care of it.

I could take care of it with an angle grinder. I thought about sending
it out to have it sandblasted. The other day I saw a soda blaster. Do
the actually remove paint (seems like a great way to clean up a part,
but will it take out rust?)?

If anyone has any experience with any of these methods on Vanagon
seams, I'd like to know.

Jim
