that is fantastic! One question (without being critical - truly) was there a reason you didn't take out the interior? It seems like a lot of work already anyway? thanks for sharing Thanks pal, I was only going to do the outside, then I decided lets do the door shuts, the painter asked me to remove the front seats to make it easier, then it sort of escalated into doing the inside as well. As the inside is in good order I decided to just do the areas that can be seen. After its all back together I may strip out the centre & do that but I didn't want to take any more things off or it would never go back together.

I bought a few hazard warning switches which I'm going to modify to operate the spot lights, the heated front screen & the interior light. These will light up dimly in the dark:-

The plan tomorrow is to sand it all down smooth, sand all the shiny areas & mask off the flock, I'll then paint the inside in L90D pastel white. I've got my new canvas ordered & when its all painted I'll refit it together with all the hardware. I may have to re flock the inside of the roof, I'll clean it all off first to see how it comes out.

I've sanded the carbon glass fibre down & its now OK, the wood is sealed & the strength is back, I just need to paint it now. I'm going to sand the flock off & get it redone so it will look new again:- All the furniture is now off the roof, the lot just needs sanding filling & painting:- All of the furniture will need re-galving:-

Tried the engine lid for fit & its spot on, less than 1 mm side to side movement:- Cleaned the last door jam down:- Van prep work nearly done, all the paint I put on the sides they had to sand back off, best if I stay away from the body paint Doh!
