As part of the restoration of the 1986 Daimler DS420, the team have been carrying out various metal repairs to the doors of the classic limo.
Our fabrication shop has made multiple patch pieces for the car which all have to be perfect fits to work around the complex compound curves which make up door jams and recesses, while also having the correct orientation to fit into the door openings on the body once closed.
The fabrication team have also replaced the bottom corner of the door due to quite heavy corrosion.
With all of the metal repairs done on the doors, it was time to get them moved over to our paint and body shop for the team to continue the restorative work.
