as I see a lot of rust in some of the vans I have seen on the this sitesite
if you go to www.vintagecaravans.com under technical section in the front section of the site
"The poor mans rust removal"
It is a step by step photo guide to converting rust and sanwiching door rust
you may be able to download it to this site
My computer skills are not the best
it reduces the quoted cost of $1500. Aussie dollars down to around $70.00 including rust under the front grill area plus 4 hours labour
It may be a technique some of our commer brothers may be interested in

Regards
Will
