Trim, Frame & Body Pt 3


Here you can see the V12 Engine-view manifold covers and radiator supports.
Having moved onto the body, it was immediately apparent that there was sufficient corrosion in the aluminium body to necessitate its replacement. So the bodywork was removed by cutting off any panel return to enable fast removal of each panel in turn, noting where sections had been welded together, and how certain panels were originally made. All pieces of bodywork were then stored away from the workshop. The only panel that looks as though it will be an interesting challenge is the raised swage line running through the door and rear side panel, which is a challenge for next year!

All interested comments much appreciated, especially from those who have experience restoring the V12 engine.
