    Not being a body guy I dont know what's good and bad.  I want to learn, is this crumple bad or something that can be fixed, seems to be a fairly common crumple with these econolines.  Thanks for the help.

    It needs to be pulled out,,,,,,,you can do it with the right tools,,,,,,a slide hammer that you install screws into the dent, or pins you weld on with a special gun, then you bang them out with a slide hammer until the dent comes out....

    Where that is you can access from the inside, after you tap it out as best you can then resort to the welding and slide hammers this is a repair you can easily do yourself with a hammer and dolly, and a slide hammer, lots of patience and a bit of bondo.
    If your going to own an older vehicle you might as well learn how to fix it because they need it all the time...

    Body work is definitely on the "Need to learn list", turned this van down and went with one with a fairly straight body.
