Hi all, bought a rusting connect!

Aloha, just bought my first van.. a rusting blue transit connect with a whopping 75bhp engine! An opportunist buy with no real idea what to do with it

you'd better buy a mig and learn to weld (unless you already can)
ne m'écoute pas je suis plein de merde.
A house without a dog is like a forum without a BJT.
Too bloody quiet

nope, never welded anything but would love to give it a go.. hoping the rust isnt quite as bad as it seems, need to attack it with a grinder!
so far i have just been cleaning the old girl up, bit of tlc - ae3

Forgot to say welcome aboard. 
Use 1 of those flappy wheels in the grinder mind you.
The less good metal you remove the better.
Good metal = shiny.
Bad metal = brown
unless your van is brown then it's ok.
