Re: Convert single to twin round headlight
It's a simple mod, will take a couple of hours max. You will have to mark and drill the new holes for the inner spots . Use the new grill to get the spot postion just right , measure and check a few times before drilling and then they can be wired up to your existing full beam circuit. Job done

Re: Sliding Doors- How many types?
That early sliding door you have there ( in good condition) is hard to come by , I was after one before I repaired mine and couldn't find one for ages, people would just laugh at me when I said I was looking for one and then when I did the bloke wanted £300 for it . I'd eBay it , I think you'd get a...

I don't think that a new front panel is needed , that is fixable , mine was the same

Re: seam rust advice (picture) for newbie
I'd use a mixture of everything , dremel, sandpaper, wire wheel etc. But don't use that crap paint from halfords . It reacts badly to auto paint from the professionals . I've had to painstaking remove all of it on my bus before I sprayed it properly. And don't forget to sort out the back of the seam...
