the inside is still a mess!

the roof edge and rubber gasket.

is a wood trim for the rough edged corner you see -

to be fitted later.

completed, although very little to show for it!

(above) for the kitchen is varnished and put into place.

129. 18th APRIL 2011. The Karmann badge is

removed from the old back panel and secured

using rivets to the new one.

reassembled and put back on the Gipsy
