Lots of metal work on this car but making progress. Working on upholstery pieces and starting to rebuild various parts.
This and that
#04022 starting to take it apart
I started taking #04022 apart for another full restoration. It has sat in Indiana for the past 15 years in a garage after the owner passed. Still in it’s original color of Blu Scuro with tan vinyl interior. I haven’t decided on the color yet but leaning towards Azzurro Metallizatto with Cuoio interior. The other option is keeping it the same Blu Scuro with tan. It is factory wired for AC and power windows but has neither.
More Metal Work
Replacing the rot. Looks like we are going to need to re skin the doors to address the rust situation. Oval tubing was delivered today from the UK. Replacing the center tube
Metal Work
We started on the metal work today. As you can see this car started out as a Euro body and the euro lights were cut out and was modified at the factory to incorporate the new indicator lights.
Rust and more Rust!!!
I got the car back from media blast today. More rot was exposed!! Normally I get the car epoxy coated after blasting, but this car has so much metal work we decided to do the metal work then it can go back to media blast for a second time. You can see how the factory did the front indicator lights with lots of lead. Tuesday we start the metal work, I’m thinking a months worth of work..
