Would you rescue this?
Not an AS, but still - classic vintage aluminum. Would you dare try to rescue it? I wouldn't. (Picture taken at Salton Sea - stock photo, not mine.)

Only if it were free and delivered to my driveway. Then I would consider it after a good looking over. What size is it?? Also, what is is???

Looks like it might need 'the full monty'! Or it might redefine it...

Key word: SALTon Sea...
After that long immersed in salt water I'd not even stand near it, for fear breeze would knock corroded sheet metal over and hurt someone... Much simpler to take few more photo's, and build similar trailer from scratch...

Call that While You Were Out TV show. I'm sure they have some leftover carpet squares. That stuff hides a lot.

LOL! Good one, Tim! And you know, this is about the only condition of trailer I'd even think about handing over to those guys to play with. Anything in better shape would just be a shame.

A bath, a quart of walberize with some elbow grease, it will look like new. I get blinded by aluminum.
