well. although actual work didnt take place this weekend, we made some significant progress in the big scheme of things. We found the above posted Sovereign listed as a "parts trailer" on craigs list. We went and looked at the thing which has quite a few parts that we need for the Overlander. The parts include Zip Dee awnings!!!! to us that is a big score!!! We will also get most of the glass that we need for our restoration. The AS also has a relatively new Duo Therm AC unit atop which may be serviceable.
Once we have the items we need, the unit will be posted to let others have a chance to get things they need as well...
It is a good thing I don't live anywhere near you. "Can I have that? Oh, and that. Man, I could really use one of those. What would it take for you to part with that? Please, please. Oh, Oh! Are you going to need these?"
You can cut the awning down to fit your trailer, I did this on my 62 Tradewind. Just take the fabric off the tube, cut the tube and aluminum cover to the corrrect length and find someone to cut and sew your fabric.
it's worse than it looks (the sovereign). but that being said... the shell is back down on the new floor and will be permanently attached next weekend. I couldn't have asked for the shell to have fit down more perfectly. it was almost like I planned it that way. Tested the AC and it blows nice and cold. The awnings are off and we will clean them up, replace a few parts, sew new covers and install those soon. I think it will make things more comfortable while we recreate the interior. I will get pics soon...
ok guys... I know several people have tried to contact us about the resto and various other things. With the flu, ear infections, car problems, rained out work days, working weekends, and honey-do's, it looks as though we will be getting back on track with the Overlander... Waaaahhhhooooo! I believe we have all the various things we need to re-attach the shell to the new floor. We've acquired stainless hardware to bolt it down and some 400 rivets to join things back together... We are looking into a local place to rework all the windows for us as well. I am hoping that she will be dried in really soon. I cant wait to get back to work and make some significant progress toward our Airstreaming life....
