Sask newbie gifted a Ventura

[PotatoBug]

Hey all, I'm Kim from Saskatchewan. I was insanely lucky to have been gifted a 1974 Ventura. He's a little cutie pie that's going to undergo an interior overhaul and a patch and repaint of the exterior. The interior is in incredible shape with mostly original parts in pristine condition....Buuuuut, the previous owners let the door and one back corner leak, so the floor is gross and needs to be re-done. So excited for this project!

Such a pity about the floor. Other than that it’s a perfect time capsule! Congrats and best wishes with your project.

Thanks so much! I am amazed at the interior condition. It even has the original pamphlets and instruction manuals as well as the original Manufacturers sticker on the inside of the closet door!

We went to the vintage fiberglass rally in Manitoba a few years back. If memory serves there were two Venturas at that rally.
At least one had a very nice screen door that was home made. Very practical.
I looked them over. Well designed and to
My opinion well built. Good luck with your upcoming restorative efforts.
Like to get up there again, it was fun, especially the evening musical activities.

Thanks for that! I've been considering how to put a screen on. Was considering just the magnet down the middle curtain type, but more style would be far more fun. Not to mention the size of Sask/Manitoba mosquitos; they're pterodactyls.
