New Paint on the 1969 Kencraft

Well we are almost done with the rescue and refresh of our 1969 Kencraft.
As you may have seen this is what it looked like the day we picked it up.

We decided to go with a very basic white and red color on the outside.
My husband decided to do this himself.
So it was my job to sand the outside and remove everything I could.
The blue strip had been panted over with a tan and then a blue so that was the hardest area to sand.
I did the best I could, however it didn't come out as smooth as the white area.
 

The primer goes on.
It came out pretty dang good for a self done job.
We added a bit of color in the front and it looks great.
 



New floors!

The hardest park of this job was removing the old flooring.
There was two layers of old linoleum.
 
Once we removed all the old flooring we decided on a light oak laminate floor. 
 
 
Putting in the new floor was MUCH easier then removing the old one.
 
We added trim to match and we are done.
It's staring to come together.
