 I took yesterday of the rustiest spots.  If you have any advice on
 bodywork and rust removal, please have a look see and maybe help a
 novice get started on restoring his dream barge.  :)

good grief...   where was your van from to rust like that?   i got one that
same color, and same shape i'm parting out because of the rust...   your
front windshield will have to be removed and new metal welded in (if its
rusted thru) to keep it from getting any worse.  Bondo WILL make it worse.
also the other areas need metal welded in there..   Bondo is not for rust
holes..  (if you want your van to last)

good luck, you'll need it :<)
