From WetWesties:

And I have a plug and play complete engine if one wanted to driving it
week after next.

> A new battery.
> A small amount of body work: dent near headlamp pulled out, back

> A new set of pop up panels (the cloth surround when camper is raised)

> I have over $8,000.00 into her. Complete restoration from her

> Oh, and her name is Creamy. She's pale butter yellow.
