Reproducing the modifications made when the vehicle was coachbuilt. This Hearse is still in use today for the job it was made, it has also been featured in films.
Nice job. I did think for a minute that I was listening to Keir Starmer haha! You sound quite similar. Nice old wagon. Would make a good small camper 😅
I’m in the middle of doing my Austin a55 hearse and there’s only 4 left …… your work is really good these old hearse’s are a pain to try and fix with them been coach built mine had loads of lead weld
Hi, your A55 looks very nice, well done for saving it. What are your plans with it ? The A60 is still used for funerals but it also gets rented out for films occasionally. Not seen Lead welding on a vehicle before but I do lead loading on vehicles instead of filler or sealant sometimes. They are quite Interesting vehicles I'd say.
Good question, I might have chosen to do that if the customer hadn't already bought new doors. He thought they would fit but hadn't realised they were modified for a hearse. Similar time involved with both options I would have guessed.
A place where I worked looked after a big funeral directors cars all Daimlers rotten at 2 years old we all jumped on and leaded it up , second one I refused point blank to work on it , I was all fibre glassed up .
