DIY Vintage camper rebuild
« on: July 22, 2012, 06:51:49 PM »
Found an absolutely badass DIY camper rebuild project someone posted on reddit.

For the original comment thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/wyqro/this_spring_my_girlfriend_and_i_rebuilt_this/
For the pictures album (100+ pics): http://imgur.com/a/5n3xI

A inspirational DIY post for sure. He bought the original camper for $650, spent about 5K on the rebuild.

Need to get my ass in gear and learn some carpentry and metal work skills!
