Just after some opinions from those in the trade or who have been down the resto track as to what constitues 'terminal' rust in panel van bodies?

I know almost anything can be repaired, but i imagine the cost of some rust repairs would make fixing it not worthwhile when you could just search and wait and find a decent donor body.



Just say you get rid of the body you have now cause of the terminal rust. How long do you look for another body of the same age?, and depending on your find, how bad is the rust in that body that you buy, and that you can see. You might start digging away and find more rust than you thought. Like others (ozbox and absmith) have said, need to see pics of the whol car etc, and finding a windowless van shell is another question. By the time you find another windowless van, that money could have been spent on fixing the one you have. Get the pics up for us.
