Rusty
Chassis?
The ultimate solution
....
| We all dread the annual visit to the Mot station, whatever the car. The
Marcos is different, it is more a member of the family than a mere car, we
don’t expect old age to creep in and take advantage of it, and if it is a
metal chassis one then there is the most dreaded problem of all, the cancer of
the classic, the “R” word R U S
T .

These pictures tell the story,
We have the answer, and we think the most cost-effective way round the
problem, Galvanising. We have spent a lot of time investigating all the problem
areas and have found a very good system that can Hot Galvanize the whole chassis
with virtually no distortion, which has been the main problem until now.

There are two ways we can go about this process, we take in the car
complete, remove the body, repair as necessary, galvanise the chassis, replace
all bushes pipes etc and replace the body. For this we could only give an
estimate of the cost. The more economic way is for us to receive the “rolling
chassis” only, by this we mean the chassis complete with engine, gearbox,
axle, front suspension, etc the car less the body. We can then remove all
mechanical parts, cut out all the damaged chassis tubes, replace both sides
complete and all other damaged areas. This is all jig fitted and then welded as
per the original, contact us for prices and further information. |

galvanising.

The restored chassis is
then galvanised. We steam clean and refit all the mechanical parts, fitting all
new bushes to front and rear suspension, replacing all brake pipes and flexible
lines and fuel pipes. We return the fully rebuilt rolling chassis complete with
new chassis rubber and fixing screws. |
