  • This genuine XA GT had full bare metal ground up restoration,
    body completely disassembled and stripped,
    Engine and gear box removed, full bells and whistle restoration less the rotisserie,
    body was in poor shape, and required a lot of fabrication work,
    lots of rust removed and replaced with new steel,
    then PPG epoxy primer, followed by filler, then PPG polyester, followed with PPG High fill primer,
    Blocked numerous times for a perfect base to except PPG clear over base 2K wild violet, then baked at 60C in the oven,
    Flattened back polished to a glass gloss, and reassembled to finish.
