Hi everyone. Just putting feelers out for bath modules. Mostly interested in wet bath, but open to others. I'm pretty sure mine had a wet one in it at one point, based on floor penetrations. Also, open to ideas on how to construct bathrooms. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I just found one in CA. I might even be able to get it! I wonder though, can it be split horizontally, and snuck out the door? I’m prepared to remove the rear cover from the donor, but I am sure the seller would like it better if I found another way…I know one of the guys here in CO has a wet bath bath module for sale. He goes by Larry Pontiac on Facebook and the 1977 parts vehicle is up on Marketplace for Denver.
The full wet bath can only go in through the back (the way they did at the factory).Thanks for the tip! I just found one in CA. I might even be able to get it!

Good morning Scott,The wet bath is 2 pieces held together with staples and rivets, I took mine apart and took out for possible future reinstall through side door.
Interesting. I have not seen that information shared. I would be interesting in seeing how those pieces come together (fasteners used, adhesives, etc.). That is kind of a game changer regarding possibilities for restoration/modification if the rear access can be avoided.The wet bath is 2 pieces held together with staples and rivets, I took mine apart and took out for possible future reinstall through side door.
ScottC is a hero in this regard. I have also seen very little detailed discussion about the bath module, but I did notice in one photo (that I cannot find) those rivets and staples. That's what gave me the idea that it could be done. I will be sure to take some detailed photos, maybe even video. I'll keep y'all posted on my progress. I am to extract it this Saturday.Interesting.

Niiice! That gives me a much better idea of what's happening. I have high hopes! Thank you Scott!After take the pictures below I remembered I had to use a hacksaw blade on a lot of staples and did mark up some gel coat at the seam, see the included pictures, most of what you see on the seam is dirt from sitting behind barn, I took a close up of the saw marks, I used a stanley handle for the blade (picture). My plan was to use sealant on the seam and rivet it back together.
Back to the drawing board. Facebook post was a scam, I think. We had arranged to meet Sat. but when I insisted on a voice call to make it real, dude ghosted me. Reported.
That's too bad, sorry they wasted your time.Back to the drawing board. Facebook post was a scam, I think. We had arranged to meet Sat. but when I insisted on a voice call to make it real, dude ghosted me. Reported.
I believe you could build out a wet bath using conventional bathroom construction techniques and materials. The judicial use of waterproof materials like FRP and lots of sealant with a fiberglass or Corian counter top etc. The shower pan might be a bit of a challenge, but could be done in a similar way to a residential shower.Hi everyone.

You know, I had considered that first, but after thinking about it and taking my organizational skills and general inability to sometimes get it together (in general), not to mention low amount of ri$k tolerance, I am pursuing the factory wet bath as the "safest" method to get a nice and reliable bath/shower. My knowledge and fab skills are probably up to par, but I'm not confident I could get it done quickly in one go. This is a driveway project and I have limited space for material storage and manipulation. It's always about time, space and money LOLI believe you could build out a wet bath using conventional bathroom construction techniques and materials.
