This much rust won't allow a proper restoration.
You can make it look nicer, but the cancer is going deeper.
The whole car, between the panels, have rust.  Between all the pinch welds.
It can't be fixed, only be made look nicer for a while.
I won't touch one like this.

Subject: 82 Westy Restoration, Week 1

If the list is interested, I'm keeping a log of the restoration process
on my '82 Vanagon restoration. The disassembly is almost done, doors,
slider & back hatch are soon to be painted (although I'm still fussing
over colour!) and as expected there have been a few surprises. Makes me
very happy to be addressing it now rather than later. Here's a link to
yesterday's status & photos:

It will be about 2 months before it's done.
