Restoring '68 Sovereign in NC

Dear Airstreamers,
This is my second post/thread, but my first thread with pictures, comments, and questions.
So, here it goes :
Here's a few pictures from when I first started into the 30 feet that make up a 1968 Sovereign International.
Taking out the sink - it was rotting and falling in on itself :

Making a nest - with tarps strung up to keep me dry :

and here I've removed most of the kitchen and one of the twin bed frames back to the closet next to the bathroom :

More soon!

Grats on your 68'! Your photos linked in the post seem to have gone missing... Hope to see them when they are back.

Problems posting pictures? See post 7 at http://www.airforums.com/forums/f138...ics-44928.html -- includes the mysterious 'picture between text' instructions.

Our software will not handle jpegs larger than either 1600 x 1600 pixels or 3 megs.

Let me try that again! I think this may work better, but only a post will tell.

Taking out the sink - it was rotting and falling in on itself :

Making a nest - with tarps strung up to keep me dry :

and here I've removed most of the kitchen and one of the twin bed frames back to the closet next to the bathroom :


More pictures very soon. Lots of progress in the past week.
