Managed to get a few bits done tonight.

Near side is solid and waiting for some yellow.

Think I'm going to have to paint it one half at a time as I will need to flip it over to do the other sill.

Finally managed to get the old rusty track ends off and replaced with fresh new ones.

Slipped on some brand new rockers that I got off my cousin he had laying around.

Painted the thermostat housing.
