restoring 1987 holaday Rambler

[femailyetti]

I have purchased a 1987 Motor home and am fixing it up as money is available. I have replaced the passenger side brake line and caliper and now have three wheels that lock up when you stomp on the breaks. This is much better then the one or two that were working on the harrowing drive home after the purchase.
The air pumps are being removed at this time as the driver side one is locked up. The passenger side one seems to be working, but there is a hole in the part mounted on the header that is causing a little ticking sound. The header parts will be welded up at a later date when I can bribe my people with a appropriate reward.
I have changed the passenger side spark plugs, the old ones had a gap of around 80 to 85 thousand when I took them out. They did have a nice tan color. The driver side plugs will be replaced next, along with the cap and rotor.
The front air bags are holding pressure, and the front suspension has been greased with new grease. It has some sort of stabilizer made from mounting two large springs on the front and rear of the lower control arm.
I will be asking some ???? when I get to the parts I don't under stand.

If you ever need a puller, this is what Autozone gave me for a Harmonic balancer puller, best one I have ever used so far and a ton of adapters for other stuff.

[femailyetti]

I have it at a blazing 14 MPG so far, on a good flat fl highway.
working on getting the balancer off now.

and apply some leverage.

I had one of those! It drank gas like it was going out style regardless of how you drove it. But it was a smooth ride.

[femailyetti]

It has a 260 and a two speed trans, came with factory air.

I am no dead. We just found the blue thing, and my son want to drive it. The red one runs and gets driven now and then by myself.

after applying some tape, you get a big white strip down the middle.

[femailyetti]

if you take some time and clean, then use some 505UV sealant on the seams , you get a nice white strip down the middle.

[femailyetti]

If you take some time with a wire bush, ya get this. You also get a lot of little black balls of goo all over the roof.

[femailyetti]

I Think I am going to uses some 505 sealant at the seam, let it dry, then tape over everything.

[femailyetti]

pass side scraped, the rivets are a pain to work around.

[femailyetti]

After scraping the drivers side. It is flat and went fairly easy. Kinda hard to see a lot of differance due to the quility and size of the shot.

Sp I started on the center stripe today, for all you great white northerners it was 80 deg. all day lol. The center stripe between the rear ac and the front vent. After removing the silver part of the tape.

And viola, you have the cover installed, No more getting wet in the bath area if its raining.

[femailyetti]

Bolt it down, cover it with more self leveling, do it four times, and you will have the mounts in place and sealed.
