[QUOTE="JS60, post: 483414, member: 31014"] Here is how this little thing was acquired, Covered in several years of grunge and more than just a little brown spray-paint. #-o Seats were mismatched, the front bulkhead was missing,and the rear seat cross-member was cracked. ... But other than that it was complete and fairly solid. =D> [ATTACH type="full" alt="Just Bought1.jpg"]109422._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Just Bought2.jpg"]109423._xfImport[/ATTACH] Dis-assembly and pressure washing took care of the grunge, ... and also removed the lions share of the spray paint. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wash1.jpg"]109424._xfImport[/ATTACH] A liberal application of "Goof-Off" with 4/0 steel wool and a little elbow grease took care of the rest of that ugly brown spray paint, and helped polish the aluminum up a bit too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="cleaned up.jpg"]109425._xfImport[/ATTACH] 1" conduit was used to create a replacement cross-member for the rear seat, ... and an old 10-ton Harbor Freight shop press worked quite well to form the ends of the cross-member, and then duplicate the "Bow" that the Coleman factory used with the originals.
