    That's a very nice looking 1st gen.

    Got any details on what your remodel entailed?

    Edit: Also more pics please, if you don't mind.

    I will try and expand / upload pix and details in a couple days. I worked on this nearly full time for five months, so there is a lot of material to get through.

    I know the feeling. It took me about 5 months start to finish with a month off for a surgery to get my camper functional enough to take it to Baja.
    I think I put around 300 hours into it in those 4 months plus my day job is a 50 hour + gig.
