All bar one of the hatches have new flyscreens, Bought a whole roll of that non skid soft stuff for laying in the draws and cupboards stop stuff from sliding all over the place ey.

New flyscreens throughout (windows), Scrubbing the old girl down with an ever alert eye and fingers crossed there were no leaks anywhere lol , which there wasnt..

Enjoyed the whole process and kep this little vegymite busy for month or so ..Few Dollars spent which wasnt expecting on the Gas compliance as it did need a new regulator for todays standards .

safety inspection was no probs as well as Rego  ..Just need to do a wee bit of sanding and painting on drawbar(A frame i think its called).. New tyres as im not quite sure how old the ones on it are and its ready to rock n roll lol..
