Bill,
Right now I am restoring my 84' westy that had the
same amount of rust and more. I have axcess to a large
garage with alot of tools for body work-compressor,
sand blasters etc. I am also an artist(sculpter:good
w/ bondo!) And I am spending MONTHS to repair this
darn rust! Im in rust hell!

I would say pass on this westy syncro unless:

a. You own a body shop
b. you dont mind cosmetics(the rust is not structural)
c. You dont plan on selling this van in near future
d. You use 100$ bills for spare toilet paper
