Just another minor update:
Removed the rear spoiler and re did the bottom of the tailgate, sanded back the etch primer, added filler and sanded to make it nice and flat.
The edges where the spoiler is attached to the tailgate, over time and vibration and rubbing, it has rubbed back to bare metal and started to surface rust so had to fix those.

After that was done, I etch primed the bare metal parts and then primer filler all over the tailgate, I masked around the rear window and wasn't happy that I was unable to prime just under the rubber window mold. After having a look under the window mold I can see some surface rust and I think what the heck, the window needs to come out. The local window guy charged me $80 to come out to my place the remove the front window and take it away with him, I didn't want it since there was scratch marks so will get a new one later.
I saw how he removed the front window and he cracked the window around the edges, I want to keep my rear window and re use it, so wasn't confident in him getting it out in one piece. I bit the bullet and removed it myself, taking my time with a small stanley knife, I carefully removed the front and rear rubber mold, with all the urethane glue, I managed to get my knife through it and slow carved/pulled my way around, since the small knife was flexible, I was able to pull all away around the window to make a clean cut, the corners gave me some trouble but slow she goes around and all was good.
Couldn't see any rust but a bit of surface rust so I was happy about that, next on the to do list is to get all that urethane off, rust converter and then etch prime.
As I can see in the previous pics of my Van from past owners, it did have both the driver and passenger plastic window visor, but the last few owners, the drivers side has gone missing. After searching through Yahoo Auctions, Import Monster came to the rescue, I have a new set of window visors.
Cost of Item: Around $12 AUD
Total Cost including shipping to my door: $107 AUD!
Big price to pay for rare items.
Brand new, drivers and passengers side.

Top is original one, bottom is new one, only problem, the new ones are LONGER. Similar shape but longer, I test fitted it, and it fits fine, just the bottom part is longer, so will dremal it out to make is shorter.
I knew these would be a bit longer as the visors are for the Every DB51 and similar models where the bottom window frame slopes down, I figured I take a punt and just cut off the bottom to make it, now that I have it, this can be done with no problems, so happy about that. Below is a pic of what I'm taking about.
