Howdy Everyone!
Saved this little nest from down in the Eugene area. I have spent the summer restoring it to its proper glory. Still a little work to do, which is reflected in the price, but I have spent many weekends in it and love it to death, but losing my work space and need something slightly different for my upcoming travels.
The nest had been sitting in Eugene and had been opened once or twice since 2001. There were some rust stains on the canvas and most of the galvanized poles were rusted. Put in work to get this beauty to where it is today.
Work that I have put in on this nest:
-All new stainless hardware (bolts, screws)
-Rubber bulb seal around base - none of that flimsy foam
-Removed, scrubbed and soaked the tent to remove rust staining
-New hardware on door / keys made
-Clean the inside of the shell
-Disassembled poles, ground rust off, sanded, 2-3 coats of galvanized paint.
I've attached some pictures. The canvas is in good shape, two small dime size holes in the driver side out side corners. Easily patchable (have material, haven't had a chance to install). I have 5 brand new stainless hinges with stainless bolts / locking nuts, but haven't had a chance to install (~$80).
The shell itself is in good shape. Couple small dings, but overall in very good shape for a shell of its age.
