We stripped it down to inspect the chassis and we were able to repair it by cutting out the rot and welding in new metal. Similarly the bulkhead was overhauled and made solid. The engine and gearbox were checked and repaired as necessary. The braking system was renewed as was the wiring. Bodywork was re-sprayed in light green and body cappings re-galvanised. The seats were refurbished in tan leather.
