As some know because of all my questions on how to do or where to buy, I am restoring a 1975 Eleganza ll.
I sat down Saturday while it was snowing and put pen to paper to add up all the things I thought where great ideas that I have read about on here to do to my coach while I was restoring it.
Guess what... Wants really outweigh the money. And if I waited to do the things when money was there I would never be able to use my coach.
I added up what I thought it would take to finish up the inside and that was still in budget
But the mech upgrades where killing me.
So here is my short list of things to do so at least I can get Odie on the road and meet some of you guys.
1) Rebuilt carb.
2) Rebuilt starter.
3) Replaced Plugs
4) Changed oil.
5) Changed air filter.
6) Change plug wires.
7) Change fan belts
 Change water pump
9) Replace master cyld and booster
10)Flush brake lines
11)Replace rubber brake lnes
12)Replace wheel cylds.
13)Brake shoes and pads (Are new on the coach from po)
14)Replace Front wheel bearings.
15)Remove fuel tanks and clean.
16)Replace fuel gauge and all fuel rubber lines.
17)Install wireless air compressor and lines
18)Replace worn air bag.
Again this is a short list. But looking to play with the big dogs and still be able to eat.
Any thoughts on this would be great. But remember guys.. Economy is killing me and money is short.
Just want a safe coach for now and be able to upgrade later on in life.
Thanks in advance Joe
