Starting with the body work on the exterior, progress was made panel by panel. The previous owner had painted the interior the shade of green she bears today. Not wanting to go through the trouble of repainting the interior the stock Sage Green, we decided to color match the interior paint on the outside. We think it suits her well. The dilapidated cabinetry was relaminated where needed and the seats and beds were reupholstered.
