looking nice fella, i had forgot about this van good choice of colour , ive just had a read back through the posts and no your not being anal about stuff but looking at the picks which is what i do , i see the fridge panal and the front panal and wondered if you also had detail picks of these and other areas where we all know they rust prior to paint,
mm
I have loads of pics.. i wasn't familiar with where the common points of rust on the t25 when i first purchased or would have took them specific parts only i took the camper as a whole and went over every part not just what would have been problematic areas.. i have many more pics i believe the ones above are the areas in question these pics are from when she first when in.. and he was picking at everything for me.. as u can see all the black areas are shinny metal no holes etc just solid genuine motor i have a video of me going round the whole van but its quite large to up load? hope this helps guys!
i have also been informed now that she has only done a genuine 20,000 miles... i have history checked as far back as just over a decade ago and she has traveled less than 8k in this period leaving a very lethargic 12,000 in the first 10 years! im the 4th owner the guy previous to me had it for a short lived period.. 2 owner from new for 95% of her life.. this would explain the lack of rust etc on the front panel and Sharpe drive ability that i was very surprised with...

It all depends how and where it was stored while it wasn't doing all that driving. Sometimes, a bit of dry driving can be better than being stored outside under a tree, or in a poorly-ventilated garage. It certainly looks like you got lucky, from this distance (and from the outside).
