Subject: All of this talk about seam rust

Hi All,
So all of this talk about seam rust has made me go evaluate how things are looking on my van.
I've got some seam rust behind the driver's side door. And a little more in the rear quarter panel.
 Then there's a small bit of rust at the bottom of the windshield on the passenger side. Maybe half the size of a dime.
I've spent a lot of money on this van and don't want the rust to win out. But I'm not ready to have it painted... read I don't have the funds.
I have a fear of trying to do any bodywork myself and screwing it up. It is possible to arrest the rust until such time as I can get it professionally repainted?

 Cheers,
 Harry
