The thing that scares me the most is the body. I have no experience on repairing the rot. Plus they don't make patch panels for vans correct? How would one go about fixing the rust?
I really want a no door but this is the next best thing. Not liking those side windows either.

Pass on it, save up some more money and wait for your van to find you.
I absolutely guar-an-frickin-tee that if you spend your wad on this one, within a month the one you want will pop up and you won't have the money.
Coast to coast shipping is about $1000, so southwestern vans might be worth your while. Or ones from the Pacific Northwest, that seems to be the hotbed lately.dix wrote:I agree with the other guys if you realy want a no door then keep looking. I thought a few were for sale in the past few months, start looking in a few more states. spending $500. to $800.00 to tow a nodoor home on a u-haul trailer and gas is cheaper than the body work if you are not comfortable doing it.
