Hello all!
Two weeks ago the adventure began with the purchase of a 1965 Overlander. After looking for an airstream on and off for a year I decided to get a real fixer-upper. And that's just what I did!
I'll use this thread to keep everyone updated and hopefully draw in some advice, tips, and other help from the wealth of info on this site--and of course share whatever I learn with you all
So, Saturday, August 30th, I purchased her in Socorro, NM and brought her home to Edgewood. We've named her "Silver Peanut"--after the circus peanut candies. We both liked Silver Twinky, but notice that's taken. Of courese, there's always "Touinquis d'Argent" or some other variant.
I've attached photos of her in "as received condition". Whew! Because of the mold and animal refuse, as well as nicotine staining and tobacco smells, she will be needed to be gutted. And that's okay, since that's the kind of project I like
1.) At the Socorro Walmart
2.) In my driveway--safely made it home!
3.) Again, in my driveway.
4.) After taking out the loose items, here we are looking aft.
5.) Looking forward
6.) The lavatory--floors ready to fall through, so it comes out real soon.
7.) Portside aft
8.) Stb'dside aft interior
9.) Portside in cabin looking forward
10.) Stb'dside in cabin looking forward
More to come...next: The Gutting.
