Yesterday, Wednesday the 12th of March, the first stage of the DHC’s repairs were finished. The paint was stripped from the body shell after which the shell was lightly shot blasted. I have to admit that I was very curious as to what I might encounter in the transfer hall on the site of Giessen BV. Visions of the remains of a completely blasted away body shell sprang to my mind. But I needn’t have worried. There was still more than enough left of the body shell. Even though I already knew for years that it had some patchy, but well hidden, rust repairs. These rust repairs were carried out somewhere in the first 8 years of its life.
After loading the car onto the trailer it was time for a quick inspection of the shell. A few pictures of the worst affected areas!
With the inspection completed it was time to hit the road and drop the shell of for the next stage of the car’s resurrection. Welding!
