This much-loved 1982 3.0 SC came in to us for a full restoration, shortly after it had taken its owners on a European tour. In other words, the car was running well and in 'good health' but it was at the stage in its life where it would benefit from a full bodywork and interior refresh. So the strip-down commenced, starting with the interior

After the interior, the front wings and bumper came off, then the glass was taken out

With the rear wing cut away, giving access to the B pillars, the 'kidney bowls' were replaced, followed by the sills

Then the car was taken back to bare metal and (after this shot was taken) the rear wings were reinstated

... followed by the door cards and the rear seats (and last of all, the front seats)
