I'm going to post up a Westy window refurb thread when their finished - 1 down, 1 to go. It isn't that hard, but you need a LOT of patience. You do need a bench grinder and polishing kit to get the finish and a few tools for dismantling / reassembling the window. How good a finish you get depends on how long you spend on the job - the OCD in me would like to get mine even shinier, but I simply don't have the time. As a rough estimate, I've taken about 40 hours to do this window from start to finish. Now I know how to do it, probably around 20 hours for the job.
Was going to sell mine my westy windows but think I shall wait until I have seen the polishing post ;D Looking forward to it ) )
Still on with the second Westie window as work has intervened and taken up a lot of time, but should be assembled soon. Wheels are painted and new tyres on soon as well. Just the trim work on the inside that needs finishing before things are properly rolling.
Some progress at last. I have been really busy and Steve at J&S has been poorly, so not much has been done (apart from the seemingly endless aluminium polishing). I went up to J&S today with the polished up windows, new mirrors and newly painted wheels with tyres. The interior should be moving along a bit now as well. Pictures to follow.
Steve made us this kitchen unit to our spec as we wanted a hob, sink and fridge in a compact package.
I'm using a new (to me) camera that seems to create a bit of a dodgy effect when I reduce the image size to post them up. Not sure what to do about that, will have to experiment.
As it stands now with louvre windows fitted, re-painted wheels, new tyres and new stainlesss mirrors from Coolair.
Making progress now, hoping to be ready for the final push later this month - registration, fitting bumpers, tracking, getting carbs set up etc. Latest pictures (yesterday) following.
