icebox restoration

[cruiserpop]

working on a 70's jayco eagle. The reefer, an upright with swinging door has a cracked plastic lining. What is the best way to tackle something like this?

FIrst of all I have to ask; is it an icebox or a refridgerator? Makes a big difference.  :confused:

best I can figure, it's an icebox. no coils or electrical i can see-no venting outside for gas venting/3-way

I would try JB Weld to seal the crack.

IMHO since it isn't a refridgerator, I wouldn't spend a whle lot of time or money on it. In the 70's, the PU iceboxes weren't exactly state of the art as coolers went and in comparison to todays coolers and the fact it's insulation is over 30 years old it's about the equivalent of leaving your food out on the picnic table.
Again JMO, but we used ours for dry storage in one PU and in another we pulled it out and made cabinets in it's place.
If you do decide to do anything with it, there's only about 6 screws in the facing that hold it in. Remove them and the whole thig slides out. Might be easier to work on it that way or at least you could show it to someone and ask what to repair it with.

This stuff is handy and as direction state, it works on most plastics.  You just pinch off some and work it together then apply.
