yeah i don't feel its as bad as it looks, the only thing that requires a professional would be the left hand taillight surround that would be a difficult fix for the average person, the steel is pitted where it looks bad and i would personally cut it and put new steel in but it could be ground back treated filled and painted successfully, the interior looks like crap and the front end in my opinion looks like crap if i was restoring id want a new front end and a new interior so as crappy as it looks the same work would be required on any wb panelvan that i wanted to restore, i would rather pay 3 grand for a car that hasn't had paint for 20 years and has a bit of pitting and a few small holes than the $3000-$6000 for a shiny paint job with "just bubbles" or "minimal rust" or "completely rubbed back and primed" vans that are on ebay and selling, I've got several cars and i don't believe in tarting them up for pics to sell if i had spent 2 hours going over it with a little filler a few cans of black paint some primer and a vacume people would be falling over themselves to buy it, maybe thats what needs to be done i don't think its the right thing but how do you compete with the guys that do this? its a good solid van without any series problems surely i can do a deal with someone on here, feel free to make an offer on it, it won't insult me the worst that will happen is i say no
