How bad is the water damage, If it's leaking water chances are it hasn't been redone in awhile. I would personally go over all the joins and seals and reseal them.
Show some photos of your new projects would love to see it

worked on the van today and decided to take the roof off the pop top to reseal it until i found all the ceiling was very wet After starting to pull the ceiling down, i found out that some one has put a second ceiling in there, no wonder i couldnt see how the skirt came off, the ceiling was covering it Im changing the 7 ribs in the roof with H5 treated pine Here are some pics so far       |

Most paint shops can mix to your specs, if you happen to take off any cladding as a sample. New colour of course will be brighter.
Personally I like the original colours, very Classic.

Now that's a spend up in one go, I didn't realise you were so close, to Caloundra, we will have to have a visit one day.
I used The Bunker at Beewah, by chance grabbed the only two ply sheets left that matched ours.
Cheers
