Piggy backing off this thread to get some opinions on my roof rust. I had been planning to tackle this after my engine project and figured I'd have to weld in a patch or some other type of repair. The view from the inside was obvious when I acquired the van, but now that I've finally got on a ladder to check the top, I've found that the previous owner has already done a "repair" of his own. So I'm curious if others think I should grind all this crap off and start fresh with a repair, or just wire buff the inside rust, attempt to seal it, and leave the top as is.
I've been inside the cargo area only once during a rainstorm and can say that there are no apparent drip leaks that reach the floor, but the inside roof area did feel damp like it sweats.... Having no prior history, I can't say whether the interior rust is from the repair not being adequate or if it was like that before the repair and they just didn't make an attempt to clean it up. The inside rust doesn't appear to have got any worse since I've had the van.
