Im looking for RUST

Greetings all, I'm interested in finding posts that show pictures of rusty Vanagons. I searched using words like "rusty vans" and the like but wanted to narrow down my search..... I know Ben up in Canada has a bunch of photos but I'm not sure what to enter into the search.

on a Westy, pull the utility ports and drop a fiber endoscope down to see if there is any rust - you can do this as a PPI whereas pulling the cabinets out will result in unusual behaviors by the Seller...

RUSt you wanted RUSt you get:

First Doka rust...

Leave that old canopy on forever, and this is what you get:

Fail to maintain the hinges on your truck, viola:

Camper:

This is what happens when you let those windshield bubbles persist:

Had to replace the front panel.

And of course if you peel away that cracked fiberglass front bumper you have this:

Doka rust is cut away or replaced, waiting for the toothfair, easter bunny, santa claus, or a dead relative to help me out with the camper rust, until then it's under a tarp.

OK then, I have more...

Here is the brake regulator from that same van. Believe it or not, that was cleaned up and put back in service. Inside, it still works perfectly.

How about these from my Syncro a few years back...

It's much better now Wink
