[QUOTE="andewilson, post: 27497, member: 649"] looks like your van was done by the same guy who renovated mine. from a distance it looked dead straight but it turned out that tha filler was 1cm deep all down the side of the van. with seams having been created by grinding a line into the filler. i bare metaled my complete van and it looked like frankinsteins monster with rough welded repair panels covering it (all lap jointed). i can only assume that some garages a few years back were turning a trade by knocking out bodged vans. as i dont know anyone who would bodge their own van to that extent. as the rust will just come back. on the good side though. 1kg in weight removed is equal to 2bhp gain. you will be flying when you remove its second skin and all that filler.
