2000 T2753 rebuild.

Before... Not sure how the damage occured as it was bought from an auction but basically it was hit from underneath in the right front corner.



During... Wood rebuilt and insulation installed.



How about this for a homade break to get the roll in the 17 gauge alum diamond plate!




Completed! Now ready to move to the inside...

what are you planning to do with the small tear above the diamond plate?

Great question, I'm open to suggestions! I slid a piece of the diamond plate in behind it for now and just kinda stopped there. Was thinking about squirting some caulking between the diamond plate and the inside of the panel and then covering it with "something". Just haven't figured out what the "something" is yet!

Nice job on the diamond plate!

First, the diamond plate looks factory original. Nicely done!

How about taking a scrap of that diamond plate and making up some flat pieces to cover that gash. If you made one for the left and one for the right, they'd appear symmetrical - maybe something like this:

Steve has a good point...

You could also use the striping/decals on the side of the unit as a template, to make the diamond plate match maybe a little bit more.

I'm going to keep track in this thread of how much I have spent to rebuild this unit. It will be neat to look back on it later.

Diamond plate and lumber for front. $139.00
Paneling and trim for inside front. $40.00
Water valve for toilet. $24.00
