Upon sandblasting, a little spot of rust/rot emerged. Funny place for it - the large rectangular shaped hole on right of picture is the mount hole for the left bumper support.
So I cut it out, and welded in a replacement.
Finished sandblasting the rear panel, all the nooks and crannies are clean. The bottom of the valance is clean. The areas around the vent squares are beautiful, and now with a bit of tapping they are straight again.
The front panel took some more time today as well. I am fitting it up, and ran into more bodywork than I would have wanted on the drivers corner. Have to decide whether to bang it out proper, or replace it with a cannibalized panel from another van.
Some of the bodywork can be seen here in this picture.
Also, since I had spot blaster out, I took care of the funny little oxidation spots I had eluded to in an earlier post. The spot blaster died when it blew through a nozzle and would not suck up any more media sand. Really need to get another sandblaster soon, I have ALOT of blasting to do.
