A little late for starting a blog since most of the Tradewind is complete. Wish we would have taken detailed photo's along the way, but didnt think about it at the time. You live and learn!
These photos are of the day we decided to buy it. We had already restored a 72 Overlander so this time around we looked at potential instead of everything that it needed. Had this been our first Airstream, we would have passed on it. The PO had never used it. She bought it from her uncle some 12 years earlier with the intention of using it and never got around to it, I know that feeling. Lucky for us, she moved it to her daughters house to try and sell it. It just happen to be behind my sister in law. We drove by it probably a hundred times lusting over it. Finally one day I decided to stop and ask about it and sure enough, it was for sale! And the rest is history! As you can see in the photo, the bathroom was the worst! It had aparently been leaking for some time. Good thing, it is a small area and will be easy to replace. We found 2 more places in the floor up front that needed replacing. The rest of the floor is solid, yeah!
