Myself - seeing how you have done such a great job on the inside, I say paint the outside as well. It will look fantastic!

Thx mate. I'm starting to lean that way, The boss said leave it as it is and if you dont like it you can do the outside later. In other words a closed door respray. Not a bad idea I suppose (she has them occasionally ) I got the door gaskets finished and I managed to get the rear cab window out last night, I removed the glass, and stripped all the old, near non existent bailey channel out. It was surprising how knackered the bailey channel screws were, but I still managed to get them all out without too much trouble, I dont know whether to use brass replacement screws or just pop rivet them in. The gal drainage channel underneath is in remarkable condition, the dont gal like they used to. I just ordered some new bailey channel and the gaskets for the curved windows and the bonnet stoppers for the bulkhead. Hopefully I should see these in a few days but wont get to it this weekend as its road trip time to rescue another Landy with Scanfor hopefully, either that or a weekend sitting by a river with him and a coupla mates and a large bottle of whiskey.
Cheers Ian
