Subject:heads up...seam rust on vanagons w/ fiberglass bodykit
Date:Sun, 20 Jun 2004 13:40:04 EDT

heres a heads up.   the fiberglass bodykits on the carats/wolfsburgs, and
later model GL's look really cool..but they also hide seam rust..  which can be a
good or bad thing.  if youve patched it, and want to hide you patch, its a
good thing. but if you own a original fiberglass bodykitted vanagon, and live in
the NE, its a good idea to take a 10mm socket and extension and unbolt the
drivers side piece (it hinges up) and take a peek under there..  might be
suprised what you see..

i just removed the drivers sideskirt from a 90 carat im parting out..and
there was a huge rust hole back there on the horizontal seam..

what you can't see can hurt you..
