[badga the badger]

me and my dad(imapapallama) are converting our m109 into a MRV. people were saying to be sure to post pics. well here they are. and we will be continuing this thread as work progresses
1ur deuce when we got it.

Always nice to see another 109 coming back to life. Make sure that you take care of any rust holes in the roof. The seams tend to rust easily and the insulation will absrob it and hold it like a sponge.

Outstanding!! Another 109 conversion to follow. We definately need a separate section in SS for these threads.

and we are also open to any advice from people that did this.

Great seeing yet another getting converted for rv use - I would give some advise but I know nothing except figure out everything you want in it & what you might want to install in it later and build it the way you want to.

Keep a portfolio of your build at every step no mater what you do to look back on - because you will forget that time that ******** whatever and you will have a pic of it.

Have fun - its really not work.

Looks like Kevin wuz here.

Good painting job, if I have more room and more money, I'd spring for a M109 as an MRV. The more I see you guys and your combat campers the more I drool over the prospects...

finally got back to work on the 109. tore out the electric boxes and am scratching my head on where to go from here.
also learned ants can live in the back of a 109 if you leave firewood in the back. will upload pics when my camera decides to cooperate

I had a rental car out of Tampa, FL that had ants in it.

The colony was somewhere in it....

Anywho, nice job on the truck, from one county over...

Looks like a great build. Can't wait to see more pics. We're gonna miss you guys this weekend, but look forward to seeing ya'll in March at the next Rally.
