Thanks Harjeev, not any extensive mods planned at the moment due to time restrictions. Also i am thinking of having a covered (flat cover) cargo area at the rear rather than leaving it open. If you have any suggestions or designs on that please help me with.

Miki, the soft top material on you vehilce is fabric or synthetic? Here i have seen the materila used on the wrangler which is fabric but fully water proof. ? How about the fabric type material used on plice jeeps, is that a good choice?

The all black gypsy looks great!!!
Was this black from the factory or re-painted and how much is the maintenance for the matt black! I mean does it get dirty very often??

tharakan9 · 10th December 2009, 23:02

My black gypsy has got a glossy black body and a matt black hard top. The vehicle was repainted and matt black dosnt have any problem with cleaning.

Anil Vincent · 10th January 2010, 16:52

Dear All BHPians, sorry for the interruption happened in further updating i was on my vaccation and is back yesterday only. Gypsy is all done and is in final shape except alloy wheels which i was not able to source in time. I will be uploading pics & details in the order it was done.

Anil Vincent · 10th January 2010, 21:47

This is the how the Gypsy looked when we reached the workshop. Fitting was almost done & was in roadworthy drivable condition. Brakes were cleaned pads & drum was in good condition, All oil changed, Spark plugs changed.

Anil Vincent · 10th January 2010, 22:36

The first thing in our list was the seats, we have decided to install original Recaro seats. We decided to alter the seat foundation than altering the platform. Fortunately the denter whom i got was a man of extra ordinary skills who can play with metal how ever we wanted.

crazyjeeperk · 11th January 2010, 00:45

you have done a nice work on your gypsy.Are you planning to make it stock or modify to any replica? keep updating with photos!

ahwajid · 11th January 2010, 13:46

Neat Anil! Congrats on Gypsy! How much did those seats cost you? and how's the soft top coming along?

Sab4x4 · 11th January 2010, 14:34

Anil, the Gypsy is turning out really well. Love the Bule colour. Any planned mods ?

All the best
