The day we have talked about, thought about, and even dreamed about has arrived -- Demolition Day! After three days, we have now removed the inside of our 1965 Clark Cortez (minus the cab area, which we want to retain). It was surprisingly harder than we thought it would be -- not physically but emotionally. Andy and I have grown up respecting classic vehicles so knowing we were gutting our rare, classic motorhome was sad... but we remind ourselves that we purchased this steel beast with a larger goal in mind: We want to see it on the open road again. Knowing that, modernizing a large area of the inside is not wrong -- It is simply giving our Cortez a new life, and that is good.
Next up in the demolition process for Part Two and on? We will be removing the plumbing, gas lines, electrics, insulation, and cork flooring.
✧ About us ✧
Hi, ya'll! I'm L, the writer behind Soul of a Seeker. By now you will have met my Englishman, Andy, who is also the illustrator of our stories. We met in search of a hiking and backpacking partner when he came to America for a six-month work placement. During those first talks all the way to now, we have focused on two dreams: Mine, to travel and his, to restore an old vehicle. Saying our dreams aloud somehow welded them together and that is when the idea of overhauling an old motorhome came to be. Here, we purchased a rare 1965 Clark Cortez -- the first motorhome in America with front-wheel drive. We are working to renovate it -- doing all the work ourselves -- before we hit the road! In the end, we are one American girl and one English bloke with one dog and one cat (which we call our ‘pup-kit’) and one 1965 Clark Cortez motorhome but together, we have one soul of a seeker.
