1982 Coleman popup project coming along

The camper rebuild is coming along slowly but surely. My dad came over last weekend and “saved me from myself” thinking I could handle the inside rebuild, ha! Anyway he knocked out in 1 day what would have taken me 4 to do!!

I created a thread on popupportal.com that goes into more detail and has other users’ invaluable input!

Here’s a quick list of fixes done so far:

Easy Door seal fix, had some in garage so I just cleaned up old goo and applied new seal.
