update on serendipity

hi latest update, van put away for 2 50th birthdays, but have original rear bobtail spoiler on it's way from taree, hope to post some pics after the 17th july cheers.....

before the new cowl and plenum

new one in

Always good fun doing plenum chambers

Good work mate.

thanks troy, have gas comming for the rest, gasless was too hard ..

just got an email from e-go, otherwise known as hunter transport, they have lost my roof spoiler somewhere between taree and melbourne, not a happy bunch of campers here, avoid them if you can, very unprofessional, glad i had insurance, now to find another one.......if they exist

Latest news, after 6 weeks our rear spoiler turned up, in a cardboard box, no sign of the 30bucks of bubblewrap. it is amazing they found it 1 day after i put in the insurance claim. try to keep clear of the online transport company E-Go otherwise known as hunter transport, but happy campers again cheers

At the speed Hunter Express go past me at night, I think you spoiler was probably be used to hold one of their trailer down. My Truck does 101km/h and they are well above that

Nice work on the plenum repairs! glad I'm not the only one battling mega rust..

Simo

thanks, just got my gas for the mig this week, have to learn again but this is a learning curve for me many years of fiberglass work, now i have to fix metal lol, roll on easter!!!!

wow! used the gas mig for the first time tonight, what a difference!! they are right once you go gas you never go back or is that black?lol nahh gas, thanks to maxvan for putting me on the right track, so much easier..

No worries mate, Glad it worked out ok.

Gasless is good in high wind situation where the shield gas would blow away....farm fences etc etc.

sorry guys, slow in response, won't have serendipity ready for easter but working now on state titles, we enjoyed our time there, even with the confusion over voting rights, will put the van in there and see how it goes before we escape to nimbin ......

but u are coming to the nationals anyways????? huh

been a while, finally back into the van , will be at the nats, but no van will post progress pics as i get thru the rust, still looking for rear 1/4 panels

If ya gunna do it, do it right!!!!!!!

Looks like it's gunna be a while off!
But she'll be worth everyday of it!!!

finished the upper windscreen corner today , "YAY" cleaned up one of the side pipes and mocked it up on the car, as they are only 40" not 60" i am thinking they will be too short: i'll start on the next bit of rust tomorrow if i can get my head around it,this one will be difficult, cheers

Its very satisfying to build or repair something you didnt think you could isnt.
judging by your photos you got a good grip on the job.
looks pretty good. be nice to see when done
