Re:  Fridges ,rust and a paintjob (91 GL)

Finally I am addressing the rust  (fridge-side typical) and am getting a
paint job for my van.
I have just  removed the fridge to see the damage.
Lots of rust (but not through) along  the bottom seam.
Before I ask a whack load of questions , is there a good  resource for my
upcoming task?
ie fibreglass or not, shrouding the  flu,POR,exhast fans,etc.etc.
I am not too picky about asthetics but I want  the van to stop corroding away
especially with the new and delicous ej22  installed.
Enthusiasts in or near Vancouver BC would be nice to  meet.

The only sure way of  repairing the problem and making sure it stays repaired
is using  POR-15. Check the pictures in the following link of a recent job I
did here  in my shop .
