Today I have lot of work, but my baby is completely clean
















And I rapair my "aquarium" on front window












Next to do is sealed some leaks on roof, clean up vista windows and then I'm ready to subfloor replace

Previously I want to change axles to sets from Al-ko , but few days ago I found guy who make for me axles from al-ko parts but exactly the same like orginal unmounted from trailer. I must send to him old axle for template, Then will be much easier to mount new axles to the trailer.
Rest parts like coupling, jockey wheel and brake components will be from al-ko.

Pawel what polisher and pads are you using as i need to purchase something to do mine, i also have fine scratches on mine which i am hoping will buff out with nuvite, I am going to use Knott axles but that's a way off as i have just received my trailer and it is in not quite the condition i expected, first i will lift the floor before i say too much!!

I use makita 7000c and pads from Jestco, with Nuvite you have more work to remove swirls after polishing.
You can post some photos with your new baby
All scratches are removable for sure

[Pawel002]

Now, i'm ready to put new floor on rear and, frame is in very good condition, so I clean some rust and paint

[mrgreen]

wow you got lucky with your frame mine is in really bad condition and i'm getting ready to do a shell off! i wish the guy that sold mine to me was a bit more honest about the condition of it! (look at well it's here thread in frame repair!) can you post a couple more pics of the rear frame and front frame for me so i can see how it all works as mine is so rusty it's all just a big pile of rust!! thanks.

[Pawel002]

Hello mrgreen
My frame on rear end is nearly perfect condition, in front I still have plywood, tommorow I make more photos for you



I look on photos at your thread, I think you could make it shell on, if frame looks that bad only in rear.

Hi Pawel one day we are going to meet us in Poland or in another European Country with 2 AIrstreams :-)
My Girl she is born in Poland. Good luck for your work. bye nox

[mrgreen]

unfortunately the main rails up front the first 75cm is rusted, in all honesty i could probably do frame on for that too but i thinklifting the body will take a day and then i can lay down a floor easier, put on the belly pan easier e.t.c so that is my plan, if only i had a frame like yours!!! thanks for the pics.

It's be nice to see other Airstream owner in Europe, so maybe someday ......…

Here it's some photos of front frame, it have more rust then in rear but still in good condition






And I found good way to install new floor :
I remove wheel cover and then new floor easy slide in into c-chanel in one piece

[LI Pets]

Front frame looks ok just clean up and paint!

I don't see any rot.

[Pawel002]

Here are some new photos

New subfloor



Insulation


Painted and installed front and rear liner



And today installed new al-ko axles



Today i received leather for wall cover

Looks great, you're working fast, is it just you or do you have help?

I love the idea of leather on the interior, you'll just need to be really careful that all leaks are completely sealed before installing it. I'm looking forward to watching your progress, good luck!
