Finished stripping the bulkhead window frame. Cleaned the paint off the window rubber and used rejuvenating solution to finish it. Vactan’d and rusty bits and painted on some etch primer on the bare metal bits including the welded repair.

Hot again today but below 30C so I was able to repair the steel frame of the forward-facing, bulkhead-mounted large entance vestibule window by welding in a new strip along the bottom. This had rotted due to its contact with the aluminium beading that runs horizontally below the two windows on the front bulkhead. Hopefully I shall be able finish preparing the window and paint it tomorrow.
