So I decided I needed to sort the rusty windscreen surround, and while the windscreen was cracked beyond repair anyway, whipped it out.
Oh and I've now got a garage I can work on the van in. Game changer.
Whipped the dash out while I was there. Any recommended things to do while I've got it out? I'm changing out the heater fan for a non-squeaky one. And I'm going to tidy up all the wiring as it's a complete mess.
Rust looked pretty bad on taking the screen out.
But once I'd gone round with the wire wheel I realised it could have been much worse.
Don't think I need any welding really. Might just put a couple of blobs down where the "lumps" have disappeared.
Next thing I need to think about is how to put some good base layers of paint down for the new screen to go in. I'm thinking 2k etch primer followed by a light 2k paint layer. Colour doesn't matter at the mo as I'm slowly building up to the full respray down the line.
New horn ring on the way as well as found this when taking the steering wheel off!
