haha me and a couple friends picked up this 1970 'bago for $300. it runs good just needs tires for inspection but it came with 6 extra good wheels and tires. but the interior needed some work. well a lot of work i guess.

we completely stripped everything pretty much and ripped off the roof and went over the engine and stuff.

we're in the process of framing it out now. were trying to just make it really nice and take it on snowboarding trips all over and stuff (all my friends are pretty much getting out of moto :( ) but this things gonna be pretty much a party on wheels lol its gonna be wild.

but heres where we are so far...

Sounds like a sick project. Would be even sicker as a motovan though! Can you imagine

and i dont feel like making a new thread for these, heres 2 other projects im working on...

haha i figured you guys would probably appreciate this, my 95 geo metro. its not really a project though yet im just trying to turn it into a daily driver. maybe when i have more money and time ill look at putting a 1000cc street bike engine in it. it has slight body damage from a deer jumping out in front of me and a few small holes (friends thought it would be funny to shoot it with their bows)

and this is a 50th anniversary 2006 r6. 6000 miles, clean title and runs amazing. our local shop burned down a little bit ago and it was in the fire. my friend picked it up for 2700 the other night. it just needs a little body work and small stuff but for the most part its pretty good.

Two things stood out to me when I first looked at the RV pics.
1- It looks like there is a huge amount of structural work to be done and in one of the pics is seems like youre working on the radio. I like your sense of priorities.

2- Put some saftey glasses on when you use that grinder. I have had a trip to the er when I was about your age to get a metal splinter out of my eye from working on an old truck. Just trying to save u the trouble.

Other than that it looks like you guys have a lot of work and loads of fun ahead of you. Rock on!!!!!

Well right now our priorities are tear stuff apart until we're ready to work on the structure (which we did start on the other night)

And that's one of my friends working on the radio. Not sure why he's not wearing glasses, one of our other friends actually just got like 3 pieces of metal melted into his eye not long ago
