I am writing this part because GPA owner Wibo de Vries has some problems with putting pictures on this forum.
As a good friend, I am glad to help him with this. sunny
Placing text is no problem for him, only pictures.
So reactions to Wibo
.Wibo bought his GPA 7023 in 2011 in the USA, as a good running and sailing vehicle.
He got the correct Dutch licence plates for it and repaired some spots.
He arranged correct parts that were missing or that were not original.
A lot of work with then already a lot of unknown bad spots
After several trips in the last three years, with every time problems, he made a brave choice
to strip the GPA completely and do a correct full restoration.
In my opinion, the only way to get your GPA reliable
Here a picture of the GPA just arrived from the States in 2011.
Wibo was working on on for months to get it safe on land and in the water.
A lot of unknown unpleasant supprices became visible
After a lot of work, wibo decided to make the outfit like the Canadians had their GPA's, when they libarated a big part of Holland.
As mentioned, he made the brave decision to strip the vehicle completely and do the correct totall restoration sunny
I adviced him to get some bottles with boose, when the GPA returned from the sandblasting company joker
But even before that happened the need of a good restoration became visable.
A lot of polyester repairs and bondo!!
To be continued................. crazy
