I have started some rust repair on the floor pan drivers side of Ole Yellar.Seems that is the only area with rust.The previous owner did make the classic mistake of pounding down apart of the wheel well to make more foot room and tore the wheel leaving a hole.Being at that time the van was in Florida,I guess he didn't worry too much about it.So moisture kick up in there and the sound deading material collected the moisture like a sponge.I'm in the process of tearing out the rubber mat and both seats.I have a ruff cut of the hole and now are finding pin holes in the pan by the gas peddle.I'll get some picture up in the next couple of days.

My 3" cup wire brush was pretty worn out and I wanted something more to clean to bear metal.I bought a 5" cup wire brush and really I'm not happy with that.It's slow going not really cleaning like I want.I am guess you guys are using a D-A sander for that,but don't know.Need some suggestions for that and if it is a D-A sander what grit are you using??.

Thanks in advance,

Gary
