Hi Gavin

I can't help you with a restorer...I'd go with Area 63 in CA if I was going to hire someone...but wanted to say hi and welcome. I'm starting the renovation of my 68 Globetrotter next week in the Kootenays.

Good luck!

Ian

Gavin, I'm also from Vancouver and new to the Airstream world (just in the market to buy one to restore). While I'm not experienced, should you need an extra hand I'd gladly help for the experience.
