Only the bathroom remains
After a short shift on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and a longer Saturday stint the day after New Year's Day (-27 below outside when I arrived), I have the interior disassembly on May down to just the bathroom and water heater. Since I am not tackling the floor replacement this winter, I am not removing all the interior panels just yet. As for the bathroom, in a '64 it is one multi piece fiberglass unit. This unit is riveted to the interior back side of the Airstream, and riveted to a kick plate at the bottom where it attaches to a floor bracket. I think I see how to remove the sink as the first step of taking apart basically two parts. Then I can remove the tub which includes the marine toilet surround. Once the bathroom is removed, I will increasingly be in repair mode on May. I am looking forward to removing an interior panel or two, and to start rebuilding the back window and then front window. I am also positive I will find leaks from all the extra holes of added drip caps and additional who knows why holes. More on this subject in a future post. Suffice to say that along with my window repair parts order this week, I also have a few tubes of Vulkem coming for caulking purposes. By the way, sorry no pictures this post; the wifey has the camera in Chicago with her. Until next time.....

Sounds like you are having a good time Tim, Are you going to have her back on the road by spring? At the rate you are going you just might.
ReplyDeleteHey Tim I see that I am in you follower section twice, not sure how to fix that and not sure how to get my picture in there?

ReplyDeleteShe will be road ready by spring, just not camping ready. I will fix what I can in advance of the floor off restore. Plan this summer is to finish the exterior including polish. Then next fall and winter I attack the floor.
Cheers!
