Started to get stuck into the old girl today.Preparing and doing all the shit work so Al can do what he does best.Started stripping the interior out.Smells like a hippy who hasn't had a shower for 50 years!!! :roll:
Pulled most of the glass out and was surprised to find........nothing!NO RUST in any of the window frames not even a spot or bubble.

Also removed all the old rubber door seals and was pleasantly surprised again.Was expecting a lot worse.

Under the cargo doors as well,not as bad as I was expecting.

I'll be pulling the front doors apart and finishing interior removal next weekend and make a start stripping the paint off all the large panels.
