that statement actually makes sense to us east coasters.

"chassis" - (while not really applicable to the Unibody vanagon) refers to
the frame/floor/rockers/undercarriage

"seam surface rust"   - every vanagon has that out here.

surface rust is no biggie here.   Holes are.  your van wont fail inspection
here for surface rust, it will for holes tho.
 east coasters have a different attitude towards rust than west coasters do..

we may have to deal with road salt, but we dont have to get our vehicles
smogged..or have to worry about them failing the smog test thus resulting in them
being illegal to operate in CA... i dont know which is worse!
