Default 02 Plate Escort Van Rusty rear vallance

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice as to which is the best way to tackle rust on the back of my van.Both inner and outer valance's are rusty to the point you can push your finger through in places.

As with all these vans the bumper holders have also done there job and a pushed inward after previous owners reversed into something.

The van is in good shape apart from scabs here and there but the worst is the valance and back member.

Cheers hope you guys can help..

Best thing to do is to replace the complete rear panel/valence sounds like it's pretty far gone. It's been years since I changed one, I'm sure they're not to bad to do.

I've had a look and can't seem to find any pattern panels. You might have to try ford themselves. Very worse case you'll have to cut one off at the scrap yard.
