The alloys look pretty neat , how much did you pay for them? I'm in the rebuild process of my 1.0 carb and would soon need to get a set of tyres and alloys for the same. You can PM me the details if you wish |

Thanks buddy , PM not neccesary as this is not a top secret info :D . Make of these alloys is Silverline . MRP is 22k but the ones i bought was used for 3 days so got it for 17k:) . It was a mix of black & buffing , i did not like that so got this painted to full matt finish black. |

Really happy to see the progress of your Gypsy. Man you are going to ignite the spark of jealousy. On one hand you have Jonga and other Gypsy 1.6..( :OT We have spoken over phone few times). Is is possible to check out you Gypsy & Jonga at your convenience. |

Why are you not shortening the rear overhang? That would have been a neat mod with this build. |

Do it now, much easier since you are doing a ground up restoration. No double expense with painting etc also. |

HI huys , its been a while i updated the thread , so here goes with the pics from this week's progress . Did not use metal paste even at the smallest places , used 3M's body filler , hardener and Lesonal putty . For the chassi undercoat and floor used 3M's underseal . Bought swift seats for the front. Closed the vent because in my previous gypsy water used to leak through it Attachment 472780 Bought swift front seats & custom mounts have been fabricated Bought front bumper from Swatikviji so the OE bumper mount is of no use , its been cut and the hole is sealed off with a plate Chassi painted black Attachment 472787 Attachment 472788 Under body finished with 3m underseal Attachment 472789 Floor also finished with 3m underseal Attachment 472790 Body being lowered onto the chassi with new body mounts |

The swift's seats wont be a little bulky? Good decision to close the vent holes.. Its a leaky spot / corrosion point for Gypsy. |
