A First Look Inside

Well the Airstream made the trip safely from the Port of Brisbane down to Federal on the back of a tilt-tray late last week.  It is staying at Ghita's mum's place around the corner from our place while we do some work on it.

We went down from Brisbane on the weekend to take a look.  And it's just lovely.


There are some very minor blemishes and small scrapes, most of which will polish out when I get to that stage.  It's just so pretty...



The interior is very "original".  Much of it will have to go.  We just don't need the fridge, cooker, entire bathroom, wardrobe, etc. etc.  And the finishes are all so dark.  It needs to be lightened up and opened up.


Some of the little 70s luxury touches are awesome (clock, exterior and interior temperatures)...

A few more parting shots...




Oh also, it came with the original owners manual.  Check out the name inside...



Hehe : )

  1. Hi Matt,

    We just got the import approval for an 1982 Airstream Limited. We were wondering what you did with the gas in the fridge. Can you leave it in or do you have to take it out? I also want to talk with you, if you don't mind, about the procedure when it arrives. I'm not a very good blogger so I hope this comment will reach you. Hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Nicola
