    Look at the state of the gutters absolutely zero prep in there before it was painted

  9. All stainless steel fittings so no rusty streaks dribbling down the van for me:)
    Although I would like to replace the wooden slats at some point in the future because it’s only soft wood.

  10. Really like what you have done there with the slats. What did you use? A lot more practical than the originals
     
  11. The slats were on there when I bought the van
    Whoever had fitted them just screwed them straight to the fibreglass with wood screws o_O
    There soft wood all I’ve done is painted them and used stainless coach bolts,washers and nylock nuts.

  12. Got all the door shuts,steps and the rest of the cab including seat pedestal re painted
    I’m glad everything in there is the same colour now.
