On with the painting – Another unit I was going to throw away as it looked so tatty was the heater tubes. But in the end it was purely the rubber joints that had perished and was taped up by the previous owner. Took all that off to reveal perfect metal and after sandblasting and priming they look brand new again.

Here is the paint shop with fan assisted drying 🙂

In between painting there is plenty of small jobs to do like riveting the front weather strips to the newly fitted grill.

And also the weather strip under the window, but this was done with new screws.
