It is yes but my van is the LWB version so its about 3ft short from the door, but I'm hoping it long enough to catch all the rust spots but I wont know fully until I cut open the body section in the picture.
Thanks all. ye the panel is fine, think that's the GF head shadow. So I'm thinking of something like this or should I take it up a bit closer to the curve?
Hi guys
Im about to tackle this job. The inside of the bottom of this body panel on my van is rotting away, you can't see it much because of previous body filler. I will have to cut away all the bad parts and replace them with this body panel I ordered from the US. I know the rust probably only...

the van is a chevy g30 which is the bigger version of the A team van. I also have a landrover hence why I think its time to develop my welding skills :-)
After many years of wanting to, I am finally buying a MIG welder for a restoration project on my van. Before I purchase the welder I would like to check I can power it from properly.
