81 FWC, 87 K5

[metalneverdies]

Well, I discovered a major setback to the project yesterday. Drove past the the upholstery shop and noticed its totally cleared out, no one answers the phones. Not sure what is going on at the moment. Left a voice mail, will call a few more times this week I guess and hope someone at least can tell me if they went out of business or what happened.

Approx. $650 worth of supplies gone

On a more positive note, we ended up getting our puppy way sooner than planned. Also had another successful autocross trip with the Blazer hauling the Mini.

Boo!

That sucks. Im really tempted to just buy a used commercial sewing machine off of fb or Craigslist and doing the canvas myself.

Still no word from the old shop phone number.

Saw a nice K5 while on a taco run today though!

I just finished reading this build. Really enjoyed all the camper details.
Can't wait to see how the new inside layout looks (if your still gonna do it that way).
Keep at it, pretty soon you'll be using the camper!

Hey all!

Its been a long while since I have been on the site or working on the camper.

I am strongly considering listing the camper for sale as is. I have a ton of extra parts to finish out the build. Just have not had time to work on it. Due to some life changes, its not really going to get the use I originally had intended.

Will probably be posting it for sale on here, FWC FB group, maybe FB market place.
