Hello All,
I am new to the forum and have just purchased a 1988 13'
Burro, the frame,
axle looks in good shape ( drove it 900 miles to be sure), new
tires (now with 900 miles on them), the outer shell has a few spider web hairline cracks (opinions on how to repair?) the inside walls look pretty good, few former holes and scratches, stove is intact but needs a cleaning, sink looks ok, icebox is ok, cushions are in good shape, though I wont be using them I want to use memory foam and new upholstery. The carpet on the floor, walls, and ceiling, I ripped out first thing as I hate carpet. I will replace it with automobile vinyl upholstery
The bad news is there is some floor rot, from the door to the curb side rear, I cut the
fiberglass floor out today, and removed all the rotten plywood the remainder is wet but not rotted yet, so I am drying it out and will see how it looks before removing more.
I was planning to replace the plywood and then re-fiberglass over it, layering it until I get it as high as the flanges on the closets, cabinets and storage boxes tying them all together using the
fiberglass. After sanding the floor I would like to just
paint the
fiberglass floor, perhaps with the epoxy type
paint used on garage floors I did my garage once it turned out great and held up great. I would like thoughts on this approach?
The plan is to
paint it candy apple red to match my 66 Mustang convertible, change the taillights, running
lights, add interior 12v LED
lighting, add a 12 v
battery and inverter.
oh and the name:
El
Burro Rojas
