1976 25' Trade Wind Land Yacht Renovation.

I finished my renovation project last year and thought I would post a link to the before and after videos. Had a lot of fun with the rebuild and still tweaking things a bit. Overall very happy with the finished product, very comfy and usable.

Thanks for looking.

You've done some great work on your Airstream.* Clearly you have an eye for detail and design.* I like how you maintained the vintage Airstream design cues while creating a fresh, modern look.**

Thanks Turbojeff,

Bought the Airstream in Springfild, OR saw it listed on craigslist and went to look at it on my way to work and brought it home to Cottage Grove, OR that night. Thought that I would have it on the road in about a year or so, ha ha.
Seven years latter I was using the Airstream. Did not work on it full time, work and family always came first. If I was to do it again wouldn't change a thing. I had a great time with the build, I love the process of designing and fabricating all of the parts. I still have not added up all of the receipts but plan to at some point when I have time. The Airstream now lives in WA and indoors when not in use. Ill be back in town and using her next week, looking forward to it just very comfy and usable.

Take care and thanks again.

I just watched your before and after videos. You have done a beautiful job both in the design area and the craftsmanship of your work. My compliments to you. I do my best but my work looks like a hack job compared to what you have done. Time to enjoy your work now.
