Yeah, soda blasting gets in everywhere - thats why i thought i would do it now, while the van is an empty shell with no motor. I agree with what you say Able but the thing is the body has been repaired and smoothed and the soda blasting doesnt eat into the existing bog etc where as a sander or grinding wheel would.

I have looked into all the stripping and soda blasting far outweighs all other methods in my opinion - also, rust isnt an issue as i have already removed it. (as best i can!!)

Guess i'll know more as it goes -
