nicky if i was buying it i would ask outright wethere i could take the inside panels off and have a look up at the seams..where that bubbling is below the join you should have an indication on the inside as it wont be hidden.

I agree with Greg on the rust free utes/vans. I bought one a while ago. It was rust free in all the right places..... until I got it home, when all this rust appeared in the plenum and B pillar. Must have rusted on the trailer on the way home.
The only rust free ute body west of Sydney I know of is my WB and my brothers WB. Have not seen another in 10 years. I know where there is one though, I just cant get time to get over and look at it.

I've seen plenty. Just ask Greg about the WB body I found a few years back and he sold for me. There is a rust free HQ ute shell at my mate's place near Tamworth (well it was there recently, may still be). Hainzy's van came from the same area too. The white HQ XX7 van shell I posted a picture up of in another thread was an Inverell car. I knew of a red WB Kingswood ute in Emmaville that sold very recently, 100% original paint and rust free. There are heaps out there, by no means common but not rare by any means. There are also heaps more in very good condition too, maybe minor floor or door rust but good in plenums. You just have to go looking for them. Often they are ugly and have dented and knocked around front panels, but are very sound and great rust wise. I saw a HJ van out west of Dubbo only 3-4 months ago for sale that was an awesome body too compared to all the coastal junk you see.

I know you can never tell 'til you look closely, but here are a few possibilities:
