Jon's trusty, but rusty daily driver Dolly came to us earlier this year. After examination, it was decided that the best course of action was to 'start over' with a brand new bodyshell and set of panels. The existing galvanised chassis and running gear was found to be in generally good order, requiring only cleaning and servicing, as the car had been regularly maintained. So the effort was centred on stripping the old shell and panels, sending the new parts for prep and paint, and then assembly of the new bits onto the rolling chassis.
The shell and panels went to our friends at Den’s All Vehicle BodyShop who diligently prepared them. A full coat of etch primer was applied followed by a full Raptor truck-liner coat to all vulnerable areas such as the underside, wheel arches and inner floors and bootwell. It was then finished in original Citroen Alpine white and Bamboo green. On return to us we gave it all a comprehensive cavity wax injection with Bilt Hamber Dynax UC.
We are very pleased with the result, as is Jon the owner! Another car given a new lease of life 😀
