1990 Sunrader Renovation / Updates


FLGASUNRADER

Recommended Posts

My wife and I have recently started renovating my grandfathers 1990 Sunrader V6. The front windows leaked (even after having them "professionally" resealed) so I decided to attempt you hand at fiberglassing them in. With only 1 successful posting with pictures that I could find I figured I should get a thread going. We also ripped up the old nasty carpet and tore off the counter top with the awkwardly sized double sinks. We plan on priming / sealing the floor and then laying down some of the locking vinyl hardwood looking flooring. After going back and forth we also decided to update all of the lights to LED lights. I am by no means a professional but I would be happy to talk about this project with others. My wife and I pulled an all-nighter last weekend filling holes, priming and painting the interior. With all the water stains I decided to reseal the windows using butyl tape. I've never used it before but after some research it looked like the best product for this application.

Here are a few more pictures. We were shocked to find out that the carpet was only stapled down. I thought for sure the carpet was run underneath everything. The walls have 2 coats of 1-2-3 primer and 2 coats of a flat based yellow paint. The ceiling has 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of semi-gloss white paint. I understand it's a little backwards but all the paint was free paint we had leftover from other projects so we figured we might as well put it to good use. There are no more water stains and the walls / ceiling look so much better without holes and all the extra hardware. We took down the tracks for the curtains, the blinds and the piece of plywood / trim that hides the blinds. It now feels huge and open. Once the window are all resealed and the blinds clean they will go back up. I'm hoping to reduce some weight and noise by getting rid of the excess materials. At the same time we are beefing up the frame for the kitchen and putting in a new wood counter top as well as installing a single sink. I'm hoping to cut the vent pipe and install unions so that I can have a nice clean hole in the counter and no chunks missing.
