It was decided at this point to send the body shell away for paint work.As some of you may well have experienced, body work on older cars is not always as it first seems, this being the case with the car in question. This car has had an extensive body restoration ( carried out by a local body shop ) and had it's interior renewed / re-covered at a specialist trimmers. the car arrived back with us early 2009 for the mechanical rebuild to take place.
