This weekend I started taking Dubbeltjie apart. This process uncovered a number of good things - like places with no rust - and a number of bad things like areas with more rust than I expected. My concerns of what lurks under the
Rhino Liner remains to be discovered. Check out the "take down" of the rear doors, front doors, rear body and rood.

| Removed the rear & front doors |
 |
| Duppeltjie without doors. I also removed the windows - the trick is to make sure the rubber molding holding the window is warm and pliable. Work one corner from the inside out - make sure to put a soft carpet or blanket on the floor to break the glass when it falls. After working the molding and lots of pushing, the windows came loose and popped right out. |
 |
| Removed the roof but in the process broke a bunch of bolts. Discovered a lot of rust in the roof drip-rail. I will need to replace it and rebuild this part of the roof. |
 |
| Broken bolts :( |
 |
| No rust! But a broken bolt. |
 |
| Slowly coming apart... |
