New kids on the block!

Hey there y'all! We just bought a 1970 Ford E200, named him Cliff, and he's just oozing with personality! We're looking to turn him into a weekend wagon for us (young couple) and our babes (2 lovable mutts).

First step is getting him road worthy: which means a new battery, tires, window & door seals, brakes, and anything else we find along the way.

Then we're trying to get it drool worthy and livable for our first big road trip (and a car show) up in Eureka Springs next summer. That will entail: subfloor, cabinet buildout, convertible bed, flooring, curtains, some kind of power, and all the fixin's that go along with a camper conversion.

I can't wait to pour through the forum while we chug along on our buildout! I'll try to update as we progress, but I'll also be posting on instagram (@cliffthebigredford) if you're interested in following along!

Thanks in advance for all the great ideas!
