I have no experience doing body work on a Vanagon and wanted some opinions.

I have an 80 VanagonL and it was a bit rough when I got it last year.  Since
then I cut a right turn too tight and cave the back of the sliding door and
the front of the right rear wheel well panel.  It isn't too bad.  Things
still function.

I also have a couple small dents in the roof and some odd pings here and
there.
Mostly there is just a fair amount of rust spots coming from around window
seals.

I figure the only/best way to fix the rust around the window seals is to
pull them, sand and grind and primer and reinstall the windows with new
seals but that is a bit pricey....add up all those seals and the van
probably isn't worth that.

Mostly I wanted to know if getting under the headliner and tapping out roof
dents is a big job or if I should just fill 'em in with plastic.

I'd appreciate any experiences or advice anyone had to offer.  Thanks in
advance.

Sincerely
