Picked up a 1968 Flat Top Boler a half-day's trip away from our city. No leaks, great guts, working appliances & new tires!
The three of us fit better than we do in a two man back-country tent...!
A lot of work to be done.
We decided that we would keep the cushions...
Handsome boy. Already started on the fiberglass repair on the front.
Taking everything out.
Removing the bunk bed
Decided to get rid of the old after-market fiber glass insulation.
The silicone proved to be a bit more difficult to remove.
First layer of paint.
Painting the interior
We ended up keeping both the fridge and stove. The fridge runs off of both electricity or propane.
Floors!!!
putting the bunk bed/couch back in...
Hand made curtains, washed the cushion covers, everything is starting to come together.
Table back in.
Glued together some old lengths of red wood. Cut out a hole for the sink and stove.
Sprayed the original stove black with a high-temperature resistant spray to match the sink.
Staining!
We put in LED puck lights and a switch on the left side of the counter.
Before & After Interior (without the redwood counter)
Sanding down the old paint.
Ready to go.
We went with a red to match the car that will be pulling her.
Before & After exterior, third coat.
...aaand it snowed.

i am thoroughly jealous of your abilities, time, luck, money, probably healthy relationship, and general coolness
sososteph
I had meant to reply sooner. You are too kind! Thank you, sincerely.

Oh, don't do this to me! My boyfriend is trying to talk me out of a Beeline trailer..
sososteph
Why would he try to talk you out of it?! I've seen some AMAZING Beeline restorations.
greyandstripes
Well, I kind of want to live in it after I'm done, and he doesn't think I'd like it. I think he thinks it would be too big of a project.
Lobsterfarts
I tried googling it and got mixed results. Do you have any solid links to these restorations?

Beautiful job, OP. For God's sake, please wear an organic filter mask when working with old paint or fiberglass!

Very cool OP. This is the sort of project I'd like to do some day if I ever found someone to settle down with.

ColeTheWhiteWalker
Oh are you irish ?
sososteph
Not me - boyfriend is from Ireland. Since the Boler is made in Canada he wanted some Irish representation as well hahah.
pharlock
oh, i was looking at the last pic only, thought it looked more red than orange.
TemporaryUzername
awesome! nice resto-mod, OP!
PainItForward
OP what's a good/comparable American version? Love the size (giggity) and style if this, but it's Canadian so doubt I'd find one in Cali...

No leaks and great guts is exactly what I'm looking for in a wife

What a coincidence. I usually look for a wife with working appliances and new tires!

Most women leak a few days a month, though. Just FYI.

WAIT! You may have all your teeth....But....are they aligned? Real questions here.
accipiter
I have two teeth that are very minorly out of alignment. Also *technically* I'm missing my wisdom teeth, but most people are >.>
