Must be the floor

When we bought the Fiat it had an old musty smell to it. In restoring the Fiat we had ripped out pretty much everything in the back including the seat cushions and the old lino which was damp hoping to rid the camper of the smell. It was such a pity to rip out the vintage green lino. It had to be done unfortunately. It was badly damaged and was definitely carrying a musty smell which no amount of hot days was going fix.

After all that, we found that the wood lining the floor of the camper was also musty, so out it went. This means that from the back section of the car we're only keeping the wooden panels for the ceiling, walls and doors, and the gas hot plates. It's hard to believe this is going to be a home on wheels with any feeling of warmth to it. Right now it feels very industrial.

Goodbye vintage lino ...
