Body work issues

[VW Dan]

Hi

I have just bought myself my first T25. It has quite a bit of surface rust as well as a few bits of rot. I am planning on removing all surface rust with a wire a brush then treating with vactan. For the rotted areas I am going to cut out the rot and fabricate new pieces or buy new panels.
Here are a few pics, the previous owner covered all the bad bits with some sort of sealer.

Jacking point, is this going to be tricky?


Does it sound like I am on the right track?

Thanks DAN

Looks good. Expect to replace plenty of metal though.

The good news is that everything is do-able...most panels are cosmetic and not structural and it takes a lot of time and effort rather than money if you can do it yourself and you have a welder and grinder.

The bad news is that rust is always worse than it seems on the surface.

o/s sill will also be partly floor inside if you remove interior panel and take a look.
