Title: Hit and Run in the 3th day
Post by: Oliver GER on December 19, 2019, 03:29 PM
Hi,
maybe you saw it in the parts wanted section. We got a Winnebago Vectra on Saturday. Monday we found a big damage in the passenger side.
Big problem was how to fix it for the moment. I had made before the accident the promise to go to the Baltic see for the hollydays to my wife.


I start the big puzzle and used a lot Fiberglas and special glue.
No really nice but OK for the travel
Here is the result and we made it to the Isle Ruegen

When you have some more time, a couple more layers of fiberglass, a lot of sanding, and some paint?  You can make that look like new again without having to buy another.

THX,
I will keep my eyes open for a new one but for one day work I'm happy with the result.


Big help was one training course in the German airforce. BDR-> battle damage repair. Our trainer told us always think you are somewere in the dessert with nothing.
He was right ;)

That makes me laugh, as soon as you said that the first thing in my mind was that movie "flight of the Phoenix". Now how many of you are old enough to remember that one
