I'd leave the exterior for this year, if she was mine, I think she looks great for another year, and work on getting a cracking interior done. Though new chrome grille, head lamp peaks and bumpers on that lived-in look body, would give her some bling for the summer and turn a few heads! Nice one randsy!
 
Not forgetting you will most likely have to take the interior out to do a good job on the exterior.

I think chasbaps may still have this all in one sink/cooker available http://66.129.69.181/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4715 depends if you wanted one to fit what you have no or are designing
 
Stripped the interior out of commer yesterday, couple of nasty welding repairs have been done on the floor but nothing drastic. going to remake interior using ply wood using the old one as a pattern i think. Does any one know what i should put on the sides of the van before i put interior back in, there was a load of old smelly carpet glued to the side so that got ripped out and chucked straight in the bin. Got every thing working apart from wind screen washers and the brake lights stop on all the time, faulty switch i think, is it hydrolic switch does anyone know. anyway im off to bed for a bit just done a night shift and need to sleep for a couple of hrs before i start again.
