Ford Landau how she came to us. Paint job looks ok, BUT .................
|
|
|
|
But what's really been put under that great paint job
|
|
|
|
What we found: piles of bog and rust that wasnt repaired properly or even repaired at all
|
|
|
|
This was done by a professional panel beater....NASTY
|
|
|
|
Filler (bog) was put over the rust ...this is digusting and very unprofessional
|
|
|
|
Rust fixed properly with metal .....NOT just filled with bog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What we found under piles of (bog) filler.
|
|
|
|
We removed the rust and repaired it with metal
|
|
|
|
Small rust hole was filled with bog
|
|
|
|
After we repaired it properly
|
|
|
|
|
The bog was so bad we had to remove that bit of panel
|
|
|
|
We cut out the damaged bit
|
|
|
|
|
And replace it with a new bit of metal
|
|
|
|
And after we got to her, what a difference....she came up looking like new
|
|
|
|
Remember the before.......what a difference when its done right
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thousands of $$$ was spent at a panel beaters to have his pride and joy restored and this is what he got.
|
|
|
|
When you have your pride & joy restored, check up on the panel beater every now and then and see what he's really doing to your prized possession.
|
|
|
|
Engine, wiring, everything removed and engine bay repaired
|
|
|
|
Engine bay After
|
|
|
|
We put the motor back in and got her running
|
|
|
|
|
One of the doors
|
|
|
|
And how much filler (bog) we scapped out of it
|
|
|
|
Once bog was removed, bottom section of door was found to be too damaged to repair
|
|
|
|
So bottom section was removed
|
|
|
|
And replaced with a brand new section of panel
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before
|
|
|
|
After.....What a little bit of TLC and paint can do
|
|
|
|
|
Shocking amounts of bog was put into this panel....
|
|
|
|
By the time we scrapped the bog out this panel it was so damaged we had to cut off the bottom section and replaced it with a new bit
|
|
|
|
We ordered a new bottom bid of panel from Ford and BUT welded it on . We do not overlap, we edge to edge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filled with metal, NOT Bog
|
|
|
|
|
You can go else where and pay for LOTS & Lots of bog , as this poor gemtleman did .....Or
|
|
|
|
Or bring her to us.... A Classic Car Restorer, and have it done right the first time.
