One of the bigger projects in the workshop right now is the rehabilitation of this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000. It has a colorful history and has been with the same owner for over 40 years. That same owner began restoring the car himself a few years ago. We will be taking over the metal, body, and paintwork from here. Delivery of a chassis anticipated for April 2020.
Stage zero involved media blasting the bare chassis/body in the rotisserie.
50+ years of paint, seam sealer, glue, and rust are coming off here.
Fresh bare metal. You can’t leave freshly blasted metal untreated, so we use a product called Afterblast, which prevents flash rust on the surface for a few weeks.
To be continued.
