Chassis Restoration Completed

With all the chassis restoration completed, the steel panels were all drilled off. The shell was then re-blasted in all the newly exposed areas prior to being black epoxy coated. With dummy suspension fitted, it's ready to have the aluminium panels fitted.

Chassis Restoration Work

The shell went through the same media blasting processes as all our restorations, removing all the paint, filler and sound deadening first, then a second media blast to remove corrosion from any areas of the chassis that are not replaced. Next it is immediately expoy primed to seal the metal work before work is carried out.

The Project

The donor car was an ex-Italian 1970 Step Front Junior which we had in stock. This was chosen as the most suitable donor model for this particular build as our customer requested a step front car but liked the interior styling of GTA-R 1004 & 1005 which were both based on late GTVs and fitted with 1750 dashboards and consoles. These last of the line step fronts in 1969 & 1970 left the factory with 1750 style dashboards, thus making an interior finish like 1005 possible in a step front shell.

Our customer was keen to create the ultimate step front GT using the highest quality materials, with an emphasis on both luxury and lightweight construction. As a result, to reduce weight wherever possible, this shell is having all its steel outer panels removed and a full aluminium GTA specification body fitted. Our customer lives in the middle east, so with temperatures reaching 40 degrees C regularly, the car will be fitted with modern, efficient air conditioning. As the car will be used often in cities, for ease of driving, it will be fitted with hydraulic power steering.
