Subject:      Seam Rust '87 Westfalia

Since the seam rust thread is hot lately...I had my '87 Westfalia repainted last spring and hardly three months expired before signs of seam rust began to reappear. Not one body shop from which I obtained an estimate would guarantee to eliminate seam rust. (By the way, estimates (six in total) ranged from $2100 to $4700 for painting the vehicle from the drip rails down.)

Seeing the paint bubbling along the seams again has encouraged me to tackle the problem myself but I need to know two things:

1. What in blazes is a dremel grinder?

2. Is there some magical way to access the seams just in front of the rear wheel (driver's side) without removing the cabinets? (Oh, please, please, say there is!)
