Re: 1979 Starcraft Islander
I have not done much over the winter as my building at home is not heated. I plow snow and winter will just not let go. Trailer is getting a little love now, The outside is scheduled for paint in a few weeks. My neighbor who has a semi-tractor repair shop is going to let me use his paint building. I just in the last few weeks replaced the bellows, gimbal bearing, shift cable, put new wires on the trim position and limit senders, (they tested fine with an ohm meter) changed out the points for electronic ignition, and some other little misc. I stilll need to do some work in the cuddy area as i only have about 1/2 the cushions. I have enough vinyl to redo them but i think I might just let the girls have pink yoga pads in there. They have been begging for this thing to be pink. I was able to straighten the windshield frame and got a piece cut for the windshield. I would like to add some kind of glovebox in front of the port side seat, and put an AM/FM radio in it. The cushions on the back side of the pilot chairs are cheap PFD's. I need to put some snaps on them so they don't blow around. I figured they may as well be dual purpose, and if they get ratty they are cheap to replace. I know I have some gaps in my pictures, I don't think to take them as I am working on this ship.
