Vanagon Body Work

For a 33 year old VW, this Vanagon was in good shape. There was some rust getting started under the front windshield seal and the right rear fender arch showed signs of someone cutting a corner a little too close. So it was off to the body shop cut out the rust and repair the fender arch.

Right rear fender scrape…given the lack of rust must have been recent.

Rust had taken hold under the windshield seal.

Other than the rust near each corner of the windshield frame the remaining frame looked great.
Painted and ready for the new windshield and seal.
