I bought my 84' westy in CALIFORNIA. It had little
rust. Then a year later, and BOOM! all the seams
bursted with rust.
By chance the origional owner flagged me down when he
recognized the van. I asked about the rust, was it the
pacific beach salt air? No, he drove it all over the
USA
going to Tennis matches. Obviously he drove in the
winter on salty roads!
