Vintage Camper Restoration Project
1964 Manorette, made in Chilton WI. I bought this for $400 with the intention of just cleaning it up a bit and having it be my Mobile Herfmobile, then the Mrs. talked me into restoring it (of course I can still smoke cigars in it), it's been fun so far, challenging, frustrating, rewarding but most of all time consuming. Here's a couple links to Photobucket albums:

Big Project! But it looks like you are coming along well. You will really enjoy your fun times and cigars when it is all done.

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
My Lord there's a lot of work left to do in that damn camper. But I tell you what, come hell or high water, I'm sleeping in it tonight, even if it is in my driveway!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
Not even a clue, heck, I've done all this work on the inside and I'm not even sure if it's road worthy! If not, I'm camping in my backyard!
