Vintage project - onefaststang1 - 06-05-2024

Good afternoon.   It seems my wife has decided we needed a vintage Newell coach.

This is our new to us 1976.  2 previous owners 148k miles on it.  It has been sitting since 2015.  

A quick wash and it looks like most of the grime will clean up on the exterior.

Unfortunately it's going to be a complete gut job as there is a leak in the roof and the floor has some pretty substantial water damage.  

I'm sure I am going to be looking for guidance all over the forums.

Welcome 'Stang! That looks like a very worthy project! I restored a 1978 (555) years ago. I am very interested to follow your progress!

Was that a WRX hatchback in the picture?

Looks like the linoleum is still in good shape. Newell uses that as a barrier to protect the wood under it.
