David Bantoft (TAS) - Swallow Doretti
1954 model -
Commission # 1262

Photographic record of a restoration in-progress.
STAGE 1: PRE-RESTORATION


Car being collected from Phil's mother's place.

As the car sat prior to collection under an oak tree
STAGE 2: Work Commences



After dismantling and initial attempt to paint the chassis. It was stripped, cleaned with an angle grinder & wire brush, sprayed with a fish oil and then enamelled in chassis black.

In hindsight not the best job but it certainly preserved it

Taken during the second restoration !! Just to remind me how to assemble the vertical links!!
