Over the weekend I did a lot to my westy... installed seat tracks in the floor, pulled the fridge and tore it down, fixed interior rust and scale and more. One of the more rewarding things I was able to do with the cabinets out was to repair a corner of the "low" water tank cabinet that was crushed in shipping to me (it was missing when I bought the van five years ago). I filled the crushed area with bondo and filed and sanded it flush with the original edges. Then came the difficult part... getting the color perfect. I was able to take some rustoleum Almond enamel in a small container and mix in drops of rustoleum Red enamel until the colors matched. I did this in the sunlight, outdoors where I could put a drop of paint on the cabinet to test it. No one could tell now that there was once damage in the area. Jim
