1963 FACEL VEGA FACEL 3 RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE
 
This 1963 Facel Vega Facel 3 is receiving a full bodywork restoration in our workshops. Elsewhere the car was dismantled, and some sheet-metal work was executed. As you can see in the pictures (car in grey primer) the earlier executed work is of a very poor quality… We have started the sheet metal restoration of the bodywork. As you can see in the photos the body is in a quite bad condition. Corrosion has eaten away most lower corners and edges. Many parts of the floor also must be renewed, this is not the easiest job because the Facel 3 body is welded to the steel tubular chassis. To be continued!
