Tinkering at a garage in Maruti Seva Nagar

Day 6: Old paint scraped (6-Jan-2017)

Back in Ramamurthy Nagar

Day 20: Preparing for painting (20-Jan-2017)

At a work shop in Indiranagar for painting

Day 22: First coat of paint (22-Jan-2017)

Painter picked the wrong green color (Olive green).This needs to be changed to non military green collor.
Went and picked the right green - Wild Green

First coat is still olive green, the final coat will have right color.

Day 25 (25-Jan-2017)

Final coat of painting done. Shade of green changed to a darker one. I like it.

Day 28 - New Seat Covers fitted

Seats with the new covers fitted. Cant fit the new soft top as a part required to fit is missing. The part is getting sourced.

Day 31 

Took the Gypsy home today. Decided to drive it for a few days topless :) and not to wait for the Soft Top parts. That should come in few days, until then I will drive as is.

Completed pictures.

Here are the final done up pictures.

All Set to return to Bangalore

I am all set to go back home. This trip to San Jose started on 26-Apr-2009.
It has been only work work and work, including saturdays and sundays. Average workday has been 14-15 hours.
Effort has paid off, Customer has appreciated it.
I now have an oppurtunity to travel back to US for long term. I don't think I will take it up, I need to be in Bangalore.
