As the Bridge Classic Cars team progress with the restoration of our first works van, our beloved 2005 Mercedes Vito, the paint and body technicians are methodically going through each piece like they would a customer restoration. Chris, one of our paint and body techs, has been stripping back the paint on the bonnet to reveal any divets which made need to be reworked during panel levelling. After it is stripped back to bare metal, the team cover it in T-Phos to make sure any surface rust doesn’t build up on the panel.
