Spare tire well was perforated from standing water. My best friend welded up a replacement. Nice work.

Another Fisher lead-finished seam. It needed a lot of help to build it up to the level of the stainless trim.

This area has the poorest factory finish on most Vista Cruisers. Below the filler is hastily-shaped lead from Fisher body.

There were a few pinholes in the channels under the side windows. It's a notorious rust area on VCs. It just took a bit of POR15 to seal them.

Most of the window channels were pristine.

A bit of POR15 fills a pinhole on RHS rear window channel.

More pinholes in this rear window area. Minor enough that no welding was needed. Just added POR-15 to the channel.
