Thanks, lots of time put into it, but at least it didn't cost alot of money to do so! If you could send me your old one i could fab one up. Yea i think we are going to just paint it the way we would like. As long as its done nice i don't think it'll take away from the value. As for the wheels they are still the original, just painted and chrome rings put on. Thanks for your input Linda, always appreciated. Curtains were made up over the weekend and she did some priming and will do some painting this week. I'll be sure to post pics. Also a few more little tweaks are in the works. I'll keep you posted

Next up the gf is making new curtains for the interior and we want to recover the padding for the seats. Also whats everyones opinion on updating the interior/flooring and painting the walls/cabinets white? Would it be best to leave it original as possible or do you not think it would detract from the value of it?

Cleaned up a few of the surface rust areas and used touch up paint before installing the windshield. I bought a 31mm universal windshield molding to take the place of the original metal trim. I've used universal molding on quite a few vehicles and usually have good luck with it. The top corners of the windshield are a tight radius so i did have to notch the molding so it wouldn't pull off the glass but i'm going to go back later after the windshield is installed and just use a little black touch up paint so you really won't be able to tell that the molding is cut. Over all i was pleased with the molding. new windshield touched up molding on notched corners to make the radius installed

Looks amazing, like a brand new camper. I keep debating on whether to do the same to the inside of the sunrader......

Started back at it, cleaning it up a bit more. Pulling the windshield to clean up around the windshield frame and replace the trim with a black rubber molding instead i'm thinking. I broke the windshield pulling it out (not a surprise) but have a new one coming. Gonna paint the wiper arms black again also.

very cool rig. I'd have put some factory tinted windows in though. Like snail powered said, it'd be tough staying in there too long with no windows.

sweet looking rig. Looks to be in great shape.

wash it again with bar keepers friend to be sure it is as clean as you can get it, let it dry a day. I bought a sponge mop at the local hardware store and applied it with that. Keep a rag handy because sometimes it'll run and you need to wipe those up. And do as Derek said, multiple thin coats. I think i did 4 total.

Today i got rid of the stock carb and put on the popular weber 32/36. Removed the carb and all associated vacuum lines, egr, smog stuff etc. Really opens up the engine bay and doesn't look likes such a bowl of spaghetti. Won't be able to take it on a test drive for a few months yet, but it starts right up and idles nicely so i'm looking forward to it. egr block off plate i made out of aluminum carb on and only 2 vacuum lines to hook up

It was on the camper when i bought it so i'm not sure where the previous owners bought it. sorry Yes like Derek said, you need to get a multimeter so you can test which wires have power when you turn the switch to parking lights, push the brake pedal, turn the turn signal on etc. An extra person in the cab doing that for you while you are measuring which wires get power would be helpful. If you aren't getting power to a wire when you should be, then its more than likely a blown fuse or a broken wire somewhere down the line. agreed
