As the title.
1994 eriba famillia has rust just under the sportswear entrance..
Is it possible to remove and replace section of smaller box frame under door and back to wheel arch without taking van apart?.
Any help\ advice\ pointing in the right direction would be hugely appreciated.

It can be done but it is a specialist and potentially expensive job. Several forum members have gone this route, one fairly recently from memory having found a very good bodywork specialist / welder.
If you use the search facility and keep looking back in over the next few days then I'm sure somebody will steer you in the correct direction.

Thanks Colin.
I walked away on this occasion as felt I didn't have the time or experience to deal with it myself.
It was a lovely van otherwise so someone else will enjoy her I am sure.

I have since purchased a fabulous little Puck.
