1946 Spartan Manor Renovation


001.jpg

Welcome to our 1946 Spartan Manor restoration photo album!! We are so happy that you've stopped by to check on our progress. I'm Michelle and my husband Bob and I are in the process of restoring our first 1946 Spartan Manor Camper. (We have two of them!) We will be posting pictures and descriptions as we progress through the project. Bob has posted pictures in order, from the first day I found Spartan #1 in North Carolina, to the most recent work. Feel free to contact us at Spartan@Farbauti.Com
