Hi all

I am wanting to get my van re-sprayed next year. The body work is generally in good condition for its age. But it needs some work to small dents and some corrosion patches.

Because of the size i would imaging the re-spray is going to cost a bit, so if im getting done i want it to be done right, so it will last.

most of the rust seems to be situated around the windows.

windscreen:

Q1) will the windscreen need to be pulled out to fix this rust, can i get away with just removing the top seal


big side windows

Q2) Also will these windows need to be pulled, I cant find replacement seals for these (any ideas)?

Q3) the rest of the rust is like this, do i have to cut these out, or can i just grind down to metal to before spraying.
Q4) should i be able to takle the prep work myself to keep the cost down. Im quite handy.


any pointers most welcome as im new to this

thanks

The windows will need to be removed. The photo where you have the gasket rolled back with your hand shows the source of the rust. Moisture under the gaskets.

Hopefully one of the GM guys will chime in and may be able to help you find what ever parts you may need.
