The body work on this vehicle is extensive. After it was sandblasted, the body was coated entirely in etch primer. Following this, a number of old previously repaired underside seams were removed and new panels were machined and welded into place.
All holes surplus holes (approx. 40 in total) were braised and filled and all panels were straightened and levelled.
All seams were sealed using seam sealer and drip check. This is to prevent any chance of rust forming in any of the seams.
The body was then sprayed with high fill followed by a dusting of black paint. The black paint served as a guide of the areas that were hand sanded in order to obtain true flat panels. By sanding over this black paint, it is clear to see the high spots in the body work so that they could be levelled out.
The underside of the body and all cavities (boxes etc) were sprayed with rust proofing and sound deadening paint. This has a matt finish and it can be sprayed right over the top with the desired colour. This was the case for the underside of the wheel arches for example.
Then the colour went on and lots of it! The most of the photos on this page were taken from my phone and are a little dull in colour however the outcome was nothing short of fantastic!
