With the shell preparation stages now completed, we can crack on and assemble the car. The shell has been finished in its original Avorio colour, to our usual concours quality wet flat finish standard. The underside has been fully seam sealed prior to having a durable rubberised modern spray sealer applied, this is then covered with top coat paint to give the complete shell a wipe clean surface finish.

Metalwork completed on our factory Celette jig to fit the following replacement panels:-

• 4 new floor pans
• Inner, middle & outer sill sections
• Additional hidden stiffening tubes
• New wing bottoms and jacking points
• Radiator cross member and chassis anti-roll bar brackets
• Spare wheel well
• Front valance

With that completed, the shell is fitted to our rotisserie spit and epoxy primed prior to the full painting and sealing process.

Shell stripped bare ready for media blasting. Although the general shell is not too bad, unfortunately the humidity in Florida has corroded areas of the chassis quite badly.

Donor car supplied by customer was a German supplied car which ended up spending most of its life in Florida.
