ClassicarGarage Newsletter 23, October 6 2008



Dear classic car enthusiast,

Since you received our previous newsletter we have tested and photographed ten new arrived classic cars of high quality for you. The last tiny bit of summer in our region gave extra glance and joy during these sessions! We drove some scarce automobiles like the Invicta '1.5 Litre' 12/45 Tourer, the MGA Twin Cam roadster and the Jensen C-V8 Mk II. Also we present a beautiful selection of other British classics and a delightful Porsche 356 B convertible. Furthermore we updated the Volvo P1800 ES restoration project at Piet Mozes Restorations and we present the first picture of the new company building of Geert Jan Peters Automobile Restorers. The new building will be completed in a few months.

Sincerely,
Marc Vorgers.

Volvo P1800 ES restoration update at Piet Mozes Restorations

 

The top class Volvo P1800 ES restoration at Piet Mozes Restorations is reaching completion. Currently the car is in the build-up phase. Previously all bad body parts have been cut out and were replaced with new panels. Renewed were parts of the floor, the chassis, the battery box, the front and the left side wing. Also little parking dents have been removed. Paint was stripped down to the bare metal and the bodywork was epoxy primed. After that the body was perfectly painted with a modern multi layer paint system. New wiring, petrol and brake hoses were fitted and all overhauled mechanics were fitted. The bodywork was given an extensive anti rust wax treatment. Shortly the car will be finished and shine in perfect concourse (show) condition.
