Ford Landau how she came to us. Paint job looks ok, BUT .................
|
|
|
|
You may think your getting a great paint job, BUT whats really underneath????????
|
|
|
|
This was done by a PROFESSIONAL panel beater.......NASTY
|
|
|
|
So much filler was used and most of it over rust
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filler (bog) was put over the rust ...this is disgusting and very unprofessional
|
|
|
|
Repaired with metal NOT filler (bog)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Small rust hole was filled with bog
|
|
|
|
After we repaired it properly, with metal.
|
|
|
|
|
The gentleman got a great paint job with so many nastys underneath
|
|
|
|
Thousands of $$$ was spent at a panel beaters to have his pride and joy restored and this is what he got
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Engine, wiring, everything removed and engine bay repaired
|
|
|
|
Engine bay After
|
|
|
|
We put the motor back in and got her running
|
|
|
|
Engine bay and motor looking fantastic
|
|
|
|
|
Before
|
|
|
|
After.....What a little bit of TLC and paint can do
|
|
|
|
Some really bad rust we found
|
|
|
|
The panel beater that did this should be locked up for cruelty.....Bog over rust..Why would you do this???
|
|
|
|
Ford Landau door
|
|
|
|
And how much (BOG) filler we scrapped out of it
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
