good work Darren,,,
Re: Dirty Gypsy found
OK so here watching DragWeek and its 1AM
Next up we swapped the headlight panel and front support bar , It had been repaired roughly after a front ender ... So off it came
Drilled out spot welds , the chunk missing was a pile of booger weld with a hole heap of bog covering the hole.
Repairs
Welding On
Sorted
No bog anywhere on this car yet .. Here is spot welded back on , welds grinded back and etch primerd
Inner View
Chopped .
This patch around the doorstrap was next , PSIGEM made me up a piece and it was ready to go .
Cleaned and treated than BAM its in . pic is no where to be found
This car is killing me guys and the dragweek live feed is dying .. hang on Ronda Rousey is on footy show dam she looks hot as f...
ok i will keep going i guess .
Next up was the dam inner wings . Look at this s*#t , car was swimmming or something .
We cut that whole corner out and swapped it with one from another gemini .
Tight little repair down in the corner of firewall joint
Bought 2 NOS repair panels from the UK and slapped that on and seam sealed
Another small patch
PSI GEM made me up a replacement for the drivers side.
Thats all i got for now guys , It went off to a mates home workshop from here for more repairs then paint.
Peace.

Re: Dirty Gypsy found
Man that thing had rust in some weird spots!
About your stickers, you might need to ask around a bit as i dont think hes on much at all any more [but someone might know how to get a hold of him] but PF60 Kev had a late model Gypsy panno...same red, in pristine condition. He might be able to take some pics of the decals for ya.

Re: Dirty Gypsy found
Ok dudes its time to get this thread back on track . Its painted now and im putting it together so I will smash the rest of the rust repair pictures up first.
The first repair for the 3rd panelbeater was the roof. I had not planned on revisting the roof but he showed me how bad the sunroof patch actually was , It was going to need a lot of bog , too much ...
I was a dumb c*#t and when the panel shop said It only needed a skim of bog I believed them .
Once shown by someone who knows you can see the patch they used to fill the hole was flat. the roof is not flat .........
You can see it here :
So i had the car picked up by Domenic (Multiple Gemini owner) and he took over in June 2015 . We shall call him GURU from now on in this thread .
He unpicked the roof off his own rusted out yellow Gypsy and like the master he is welded it back onto mine ..

Re: Dirty Gypsy found
The other door was next which had the exact same problem , Its strange , I had 8 van doors here and none of them had rust in this spot .. Just my luck None of them were better condition than the ones on the Gypsy when I bought it either , Once i found that out I had a fire sale on van doors , which Big Gem and Mark happily obliged.
I also noticed some doors have the pressed shape thing and some dont ..
Ok , time for more photos of the metal master Guru at work .
And Bam its gone , pretty cool huh ..

Re: Dirty Gypsy found
Ok this is the rear cargo entrance where the seal fits on .
I gave Guru an ass cut from a black wagon that he used for the patch piece .
Bit of a s*#t spot to fix but No problem for the guru
Chopped
Going back in

Re: Dirty Gypsy found
thats a massive job on the roof, well done!
was so obvious on the side view that it wasn't right!
