A few weeks ago, I posted about digging a Starcraft out from under the barn. Well, after a lot of hours and even more $$$ I decided to post an update. I finally got all of the crap out of the inside, and cleaned it. Transom wood was replaced, and the new flooring has been cut and prepared to go back in. It was taken it off the trailer, bottom cleaned, sanded and repainted. While off, the trailer got new bearings, wheels tires, rollers, runners, and 2 cross members replaced. The trailer was cleaned, primed and painted.
I got it back on the trailer this past weekend and began sanding the sides. I've found a few small holes in the aluminum that I sealed with JB Waterweld. I'm planning of painting the outside this weekend.
Thanks to everyone who has shared their projects on this forum, I've picked up several good ideas and some good information. I'll post a few pictures of the progress so far, and next time, maybe i'll have the outside done and at least some of the inside.

CJ - she looks a lot better than your first pics from earlier. Glad to see another SC in the Peachtree state. I like how you rolled her on her side for the bottom work.
