done this years ago,dont remember any horrors! cant remember if bumper has to come off,just see. im pretty sure that two bolts come in towards front of car from door area. the only problem that i can think of is gona be the old rust making getting 10mm bolts or torx screws off. your gona need a grinder or saw and plenty of plus gas penetrating fluid,a blowtorch might also be handy!

Good old vans , just go a bit flaky underneath at the back, will last ages if not abused
