The amazing Restoration of... Ethel the T25 Karmann Gypsy!

@paulcalf
Thought about that but it’s a limited market there was 300 left a fortnight ago, now there is 298 in the world
Honestly though from what I’ve found out your better just making them when asked Paul. Although I’ve got some templates

 

@paulcalf I’ve been thinking about finding latebay pickups like @Flakey snd converting them maybe?

 

Foggy, what would you convert them into?

 

@crossy2112
I had a brainstorm @paulcalf knows no one else! Top secret?

 

If it don't come off with white spirit
Then it won't
It looks like sikaflex type thing to me
Which is not silicone
More like an adhesive and a bugger to remove
A sharp Stanley type scraper carefully used will get off most of it
Don't use any solvents on the painted side
As the paint is really thin and unless
You want the Airstream look don't use any
Now having gone this far have you considered replacing all the Aluminium?
The company that makes most of the panels used in the caravan industry
Is called" Euramax"
You could keep all the existing panels and use them as templates
Not only that but you could have them made in any spec /design or colour
What you are doing Geord is the hard work the ally is relatively cheap
In the shape of it all

 

If Euromax leave any laying around Pikey will have 'em

 

Jurgens aren’t based on pickups, just vans chopped , literally with an axe by the look of it, down to the chassis at the back !

 

@monkeyvanwestybike thank you for the advice I’m all ears,

What your saying is so right I’ve been pealing it off with a Stanley knight and with spirit blooming hard work.

 

Pikey, what's a Stanley Knight?

 

@monkeyvanwestybike what am I looking at cost wise to replace.

 

@crossy2112
Ha ha Stanley whom’s a knight of the round table

 

@monkeyvanwestybike
Where would you buy a new aluminium roof from please. I can pay you in beer wine

Suppose this is another stupid Geord question as most likely you can buy that too.

 

Keep up Pikey.
Just nip down to Euramax they have loads laying out around the back

 

@crossy2112
I’m s virgin when it comes to this stuff
Don’t tell@Ermintrude

 

Mrs Foggy did say she had a virgin birth

 

I don't think that they have them literally lying round the back
But you're in the right place

Hey Get it Right Geord
Classic caravan restorer
= £££

 

Wouldn't lead sheeting do on the sides? The kind they have church roofs, for example.

 

Wow I’ve just released how to make it future proof easily. Wow what should I do,

 

@monkeyvanwestybike already had two people banging on my door wanting to buy it.

Honestly don’t know what to do.
My Son love’s it.
