It looks like you have an extreme make over, camper edition on your hands....
Keep at it, you'll do well and have a fun time camping in your labor of love...
You mentioned parts cheap, Do not know where you are located but there are RV Salvage places. A web search may even turn up some in your area.
If you ever get a chance to get near Elkhart IN there are several. They go around and buy up any left over parts, over stocks, changed styles etc from the RV manufactures. You can literally build an entire camper from what they have.
Best is to shop them and watch the prices as they can range sort of all over. Some things you can almost buy new for the price they are asking and some are down right deals.
I have been to this one.
New and Reconditioned RV Parts & Accessories - RV Surplus A pile of stuff and some deals but watch the prices. This is more of a large warehouse of stuff sort of all over.
This one I have heard is great. I'll be there some time this year. SOC members have been to this one with great reviews.
Bontragers Surplus Inc.
There are also places on Ebay. A forum member posted here a short while ago on a place he uses. There is a lot of RV stuff listed on E bay but I have not yet bought thru them
Good luck and looking forward to your progress.
John
