yea. dont drive it daily in the roadsalt :<) seriously - if you live in the salt belt, and you drive your van on heavily salted roads, daily, it WILL rust, no matter what you do to try to prevent that from happening. best thing i can say, is keep your van clean, and waxed, touch up any rust you see forming before it gets to be a prob, (ie- dont let it go till "i get the money to do it right" which usually never happens - you'd be surprised what you can do yourself with a little can of touch up spray paint ) there has been different ideas about spray on types of undercoating, but i've parted my share of rotten vans that had been undercoated by Ziebart and related places.. or, just drive it till it rots out, then buy another one from california with a blown engine, do the swap, and you're good for another few years :<) chris
