Post 36: In the Bodyshop

November 2018 - February 2019
Post 36: In the Body shop


If you remember back in November I took the car to the body shop for preparation   I think we all thought the car would be back for Christmas but it didn't work out that way as it has taken a lot longer than expected as the body shop had some resource issues that slowed the car prep down.  It is worth a quick reminder what the car looked like I think. . .
After the paint was removed - hard work that was!
As things progressed inside the body shop the car has progressively got better - I guess they have been applying makeup! so here are some stage images. . .
First application of makeup - a bit rough and the guys are putting some elbow power into the process


Final smoothing - felt like glass when I touched it - really smooth and most of the filler gone
First images post top coat application.



Still a way to go but this looks great and now needs a rebuild to align the panels for masking to add the side flash - next post might just see the some of that but lets wait and see!
