1989 Ford Granada in for a respray

Having been with it’s current family for many years ,our 1989 Ford Granada initially came in for some welding work to be carried out on the sills, in a view to get her back on the road with a new MOT.

Unfortunately the sills were in desperate need of some attention along with some smaller task that we carried out.

Having completed the necessary work on the sills, we sat down with the owners and all made the decision that a full respray would freshen up the car’s exterior.

With the interior looking so good it would be lovely to have her back to how she should be.

Unfortunately, as with a lot of vehicles that sit still in the UK for some time each panel required attention and when every panel needs it, it’s best to do a full respray rather than trying to match up with the few good points. It’s best to make it all good again so this is what we intend to do.

Daisy Is Born

Today’s the day that our 1989 VW camper ‘Daisy’ gets her wacky decals fitted.

Lauren has done a grand job getting her nice and clean and the workshop is toasty and warm. The perfect environment for fitting exterior decals to a vehicle…and a lovely environment to work in too, being cold is horrible! Too cold and the adhesive won’t bond to the metalwork.

Another note when fitting stickers to a vehicle; it must be clean but do ensure that there is no polish or cleaning products left on the bodywork, this too will prevent the adhesive from settling.

It took Harvey from Apex Signs a good few hours to finish the design, every piece was individually printed and cut to create the layered design.
