    You can usually swap the hinge sides on those fridges. Would be much more usable if the doors opened the other way. 👍🏻

      I came to make the same comment. Also a little quarter round tacked to the bottom of the cabinets will hide those paint bleeds on the new floor.

      @@johnpoteat9774 You are right but I always liked the 11/16" or 3/4" cove molding better. Looks different and more finished to me. Don't know why more people don't use it.

      @user-ny9po2lm1x Před 19 dny +2

      Heck yeah! Getting a donor is better than buying all the pieces separately. I converted a 6V beetle to 12V using a trashed donor beetle I got for $150. I sold parts off it and sold what was left to the junkyard. I actually made money off that deal

    I just bought a 1986 ford Travelcraft RV. And am starting to do the same thing. I’m definitely gonna need a new roof but I’m just ripping all the interior out. I’m keeping the fridge, stove, bathtub and 2 sinks. But other than that everything else is coming out. I didn’t even think about wrecked campers. That’s smart for the materials you reused! I’ll keep that in mind!

    950 for that broken camper was the best 950 ever spent I think for all the great stuff it is giving you for this thing
    I would think once done you can strip off the camper top from the chassis and make yourself a trailer from the chassis and have a double win

What you do with all of the old cars you rescue is amazing. How you just use what you have is brilliant. In the UK we just don't seem to have access to the 70s and 80s cars of my youth as they are out of reach for most people on pricing. The way you guys are so informative and also so humble in your approach to fixing these forgotten gems is such a breath of fresh air. Getting the whole family involved as well is a joy to see.
