hi thought i would start a thread detailing the gipsy project i bought from steve at eastfalia right the van is an auto watercooled fuel injected 1.9 ,hopefully will get this running on friday . it has power steering which the wife will love the cab is in really good no seam rot the paint is abit flat , in fact its totally flat the coachbuilt part is where the most work is , the rear corners are coming away ,and the roof lining is looking damp , nothing i cant sort out will eventually replace all the wood , as i plan on keeping tis for a long while it is missing a few bits , that i hope you helpfull lot can help me source , first is the rear table , really need this as i believe it is part of the bed , i also need door mirrors , a toilet have been looking at a few thetford toilets on E-bay, also i dont have any kind of roof rack or bike rack which would be handy , i,m sure there will be a load more questions , i fact i know there will be , and i will be posting a few more pics once the engines running and ive got it out of steves way |

table frame is available from various places, i'm sure there's one in the cak tanks catalogue but the wood top will be hard to replace as a perfect match

I think they have a website, type in cak tanks in to www.google.co.uk and they have an on-line catalouge or they will post you one |
