Starting 1967 Ambassador reno!!!
Hey Everyone,
So I've been wanting an airstream for about 10 years and finally caved and bought one. Actually I bought two! Shortly after my first I got bit by an aluminum bug and bought a 68' overlander in original condition. However it was home to a pack a day smoker so I've got a lot of hours of scrubbing ahead of me.
I have a small farm upstate and we are hosting 7 weddings here this summer in an effort "to break even". So the business plan is to accommodate about 30 in traditional houses and rent out airstreams and tiny houses as a sort of glamp site to the more adventurous members of the wedding party.
Anyway, now that my first hay wagon tiny house is done I'm starting to get my head around renovating the 67 ambassador. I bought it from a wonderful gentleman who has already put in a ton of time and money. Its got a brand new hot water heater, pump, black water tank and furnace. I now just have to figure out how to get them functioning. It also came with a brand new porcelain toilet and tub kitchen sing and stove top. So far I've taken out a lot of the original cabinetry and bathroom fixtures.
Have been washing and scrubbing everything down.
Now comes the fun part. Hooking everything up!
Anyway, I'd really like some tips on how to get the most out of the forum.
Since I'm starting with plumbing I'll post there and in the model specific forum.
Im really looking forward to this project. Can't wait to become a member of the community!
Thanks,
