When it came to the bodywork and painting I was out of my depth so I employed a professional garage owned by Vicente Alapont in Valencia. Not only is he a true professional and perfectionist making a fabulous job of the car he became a true friend and someone I will always respect. 

After the body was stripped to bare metal, the only replacements necessary were 2 floor pans, 1 outer sill and a repair panel for the rear inner wing which had taken a slight bash some years ago. No major damage though.

I took literally 100's of photographs of the restoration, visiting the garage every week throughout. I can't possibly post them all but hopefully these will demonstrate the level of detail.
