Reassembling goes on: February 2014
The rear begins to take shape....
The trunk being matched to the body after corrosion has been mended
Rust holed even the fuel tank filler tube
The doors were all badly corroded at the bottom, the original lightening holes had to be reproduced faithfully in the replacement panels. The doors had to be taken down to be repaired at the front lower corner
More repairs, corroded parts cut and replaced
Aluminum panels being repainted
Panels refitted
Doors have been refitted
Wheelarches were badly corroded....were mended and refitted with new aluminum
I always thought that it is very inappropriate to fit a modern battery to a classic car. FAILLA in Turin builds on order special, 'vintage-look' batteries for any classic car. This one looks very nice. Unfortunately, it began to leak only a few days after I had fitted it on my 409 and the seller made lots of problems in accepting the warranty claim, so I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this battery
I need this filler cap (this one is VERY rusty...) its fixing ring and the windscreen washer jets too
