Love it a great restoration job, get the mechanicals fixed and you are ready for offroad. Try for aluminum sheet for the foot well, easy to maintain and clean.

Krishna

Wonderful job on your Gypsy and its quite a looker in this Red/black avtaar with those Alloys/tyres.

Only part a bit subdued is the Front which i am sure will look much much better once you install Hella Rallye Lights.

Good going mate

cheers

howler · 29th June 2009, 14:23

very very neat krishna!!! except for the choice of alloys but thats just a matter of taste. Btw is this mandovi on the hunsur road?

GoSlow · 29th June 2009, 14:34

Great Job Krishna. Good to see people reviving old gypsies and restoring them to their previous glory. Well, yours looks much better that it did when it came out of the showroom. Good work buddy!

What wing mirrors are you using (from which vehicle)?

cheers

krishna congratulations. awesome restoration job. after the fitting of Hella lights it will look even more good. get the IND number plates fixed. if its not yet done i think front should have the smaller 2 lines (2 wheeler's rear side) IND number plate fixed on one side left or right and the regular style at the rear the big one. the alloys go well with gypsy. happy driving.

srikant · 29th June 2009, 16:33

hey Krishna, Thats a real stunner, and i feel it would look more sporty and rugged without the soft top ( I mean completely open ). Just used to love Gypsy that way. I know is not possible to keep it like that in India. But just would love to see it once like that.

Its a real neat paint job indeed and the complete package looks awesome.

If you get a chance, please post a pic without the soft top.

Cheers
Sri

Congrats on a wonderful execution here Krishna. Must admire your patience & enthu. So I get to see it first when you bring it to Bangalore. Right? Do call me when you bring it here. Congrats again. Cheers,

shajufx · 29th June 2009, 21:25

Hi Krishna, a very tastefully done work. Looks too good. Hope we can see it on bangalore roads once a while, I would not miss spotting it with the last picture you have posted. This thread is begging for more photos in different angles. Please do that ! Enjoy your ride to the fullest !

Hemanth · 30th June 2009, 09:48

Nice work and verty good execution of workmanship. Hope to catch up with you at Mysore maybe this weekend.
