What an amazing story with great pictures of the mammoth rebuild. I can't remember liking someone's thread so much.
It was a great read.
Thanks.

Nice job mate looks the part had heard all about the build but did not realise how much damage was on it and how good the finish is
Hi
Looking at your thread and thinking 'wow'. I'm looking at replacing our 2007 roof as its sagging badly . Do you know where you can buy them ? Is that a crazy question for the inexperienced ?? Cheers

If your roof is sagging i suspect the timber frame inside the roof has wood rotted from water. Big job messy but certainly can be done. Might need to remove the A/C
Also full replacement decal set on.

On a side note just started a 2014 Swan Outback for my cousin. Very similar in construction. This one i am making from scratch a new roof using alloy frame and alloy composite. And repairing the nose cone and door and back on the road
Hi mick jut wanted to ask a question you know who buy the paper laminate used in the vans
cheers
It would be good if you keep us updated with the rebuild on the swan if you could Mick? I love seeing you bring them back to new.
Great read, well done.
On a side note (and something I found out reading 'mod' threads as well) do not read them backwards, make sure you start from page 1!

What a great job.
You should be very proud of yourself.
Be interested in further progress. I love to see a challenge met with thought and hard work.

Hi mate Gunnersens sell and make most colours though could not match the colour in my van. Ended up buying 2400x1200 sheets from a Jayco dealer. Brisbane camperland had 20-30 sheets in stock varying thicknesses
Hi mate yeah tried Gunnersons but they don't sell to the public unfortunately doh so I had to order from a Jayco dealer gee whiz definitely not cheap that's for sure lol
You can order any Gunnersens product through mitre 10. Take a sample in to Gunnersens and they will tell you the code to order. The 3mm white wall sheets were $27 ordered in from mitre 10
Nose cone repaired. Rather than replace the plastic nose cone at $1100 plus shipping, we plastic welded it primed and painted the entire thing in stone guard white to hide any imperfections. Just have to paint the lower half black. Fit new flare to right side, fit door, front hatch, gas cert and roadworthy. Havent had much time with work.
