Chassis sprayed.



Close up of chassis

The chassis sprayed by hanging it from the ceiling. Again much preparation, priming, basing and polishing was done to obtain a good finish.

The chassis in detail showing the quality of finish. The aim was not to obtain a perfect finish, but as it would have been done in the factory. Hence the welds left as they would have been.

Van back on trailer after blasting.
Van back after blasting.

The van back required repairs and was blasted. JMA Services again supplied the trailer.

----------------------------------------------------------

The back was only blasted in the corners and edges (the difficult to get at areas), if the large flat panels had been done there was a chance that they would distort.
----------------------------------------------------------

Van back in primer.
The van back painted.

The van back also received a lot of preparation before priming. (This picture is in black and white.)
--------------------------------------------------------

The van back painted. The correct masking and painting order was important when dealing with the three different colours.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Underneath the van back.


The engine blocked stripped.

As with the rest of the vehicle the underneath is as good as the top.
----------------------------------------------------------

The engine block was rebored and the outside cleaned to bare metal. (This picture is in black and white.)
----------------------------------------------------------

The complete engine was sprayed in the correct green as it would have been done in the factory.
