#1: Shell Shocked Autobodies LTD Work Portfolio Author: -SDC-, Location: Devon PostPosted: Fri Mar 26, 2010 7:13 am
    ----
Dear All,

As some of you know I run a chain of bodyshops in the South West of England called Shell Shocked Autobodies LTD.

Our company prides itself on being a one stop solution for all car bodywork needs, whether its a scuff on the bumper or you want a custom wide arch bodykit fitted or your interior retrimed we can handle this for you. We based in the South Devon Area and have been running now for 3 years.

We currently offer services of:

-Custom Resprays and colour changes from £1600
-Blow overs from £900
-Wide Arch/bodywork fitting from £900
-Alloy Wheel refurbishments from £45 pounds a wheel
-Standard and Modified crash damage repair (both private and insurance)
-Bodywork modifications (smoothing ect)
-Interior Retrims from £900

Please remember that all 206 Info members get a further 10% discount on the prices listed above.


The purpose of this topic is to show you what we do on a day to day basis. We do a huge amount of work big and small and I believe this will be of interest to you all.

Throughout this topic I will happy explain how and why things are being done so that you can build up so basic knowledge on bodywork. We all will need bodywork doing at some time in our lives so I hope you will find this interesting.

If you have any questions about bodywork or what we are doing please feel free to ask.

Please remember I have bodywork buying guides available on this forum, which is useful to understand the lingo, and help you spot the good from the bad, which can be found here:

www.206info.co.uk/Foru...=3368.html

Enjoy!

First my 206 GTi 180:

Dent in the wing and wheel refurbishment needed

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


BMW E46 wheel refurbishment, these wheels where really really bad! The bellow pictures are after 3 hours with a dia grinder:

 


 


 


 


 


 


Anther Mondeo..... ow no wait its a Bentely Mulsanne S (1990). This car was in for basically a full restoration, 8 patches of rust from the doors where taken off and the front resprayed due to stone chips:

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


And our 3rd VW camper of the year, in for full restoration work, this was also pretty bad. It came to use with some 'home priming' done, which all needed to be redone and retreating all the rust. Full respray on this which we are currently working on:

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


2006 Magane, with damage to N/S/R door and quarter panel:

your prices and the way of getting a discount should be posted in "member discounts" can you just post it straight in there or do you need a MOD to do it for you, if so get one of them otherwise this will get lost and it sounds like an amazing deal Smile

Antix - For 206 Info Member £162 for 4, however if its a refurbishment job we highly recommended getting the tires taken off and put back on, we charge an additional £20 for all 4 tyres on and off for this service.

However we do not offer a powder coating service, to my knowledge these would have to be dipped or sprayed with an electrostatic gun, it also has to be baked in an oven. We sprayed wheels for 3 years and never had any problems with them.

Europeugeot - I will reply by the end of play today my friend!

Lewis - Thanks matey, if you look you will see I have a thread up there already, this one is staying in here so I can update it. I have already had a discussion with site staff to make sure they where happy Smile

Few more updates, this is a bit of weekend work. We are usally not open on these days but we do ever so often when we are mega busy.

First off my car, old exhaust off, New Scorpion on and a little bit of undersealing! The Scorpion system is a fantastic system if you have a 180, my car has actually become quieter due to the blowing old exhaust! Picks up much better now also, highly recommend this to 206 owners.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Also did a some more work on the camper, have a look at the side sill strips, how many colours?

 


 


 


Repaired some S200 Mirrors also (which had a massive crack in them)

Thanks chap Smile

Thats simply a bit of overspray, which is due to the locking mechanism being troublesome to mix up. Also if you have the gun set on a higher PSI your get better converge but more overspray. In some cases overspray can fade through masking. This is not due to lack of masking but simply the consistence of the tap.

A higher PSI will be used through the gun on hard to reach areas to give a better coverage.

This was simply flatted of before it was given back to the customer. Hope that answer your question Smile

Not thats fine I don't mind Smile We not the sort of company to quible about things, if we ever feel we might have done something wrong, or a customer is not 100% happy we always rectify without question, as occasional things like this can get missed.

Wish the bodyshop mine had just been in was like this.. I had to spend half an hour arguing with him to do it again after them f**king up for a THIRD time. They claimed he only did what he thought he could see... Tw@ts.

tomd0801754 - What have they been messing up out of interest? If nothing more I might be able to give you some ammo for when you next speak to them, if they start using jargon.

ExoVyper and davek- First thing I though when I saw it! But I have to contain myself, I need to keep my car subtle as I have an S2000 dream Embarassed

However as I say, this half Candy/half perl base works really well as is relatively easy to spray too.

They said the spoiler is producing resien which is making the paint bubble (3rd time it has happened)..

Plus blaming other peoples workmanship.

Spraying over the badges and bootstrip in laquer and a few other things.
According to them orange peel paint is 'natural'.. Wink

Oh and they are one of the most reputable companies in Carlisle.

Bubble? Is it actually bubbles or like perfect round indents?

If it keeps going dull or pealy, it might be suffering from solvent trap. This is when the volume of recent paint causes solvents in the paint to creep out of the paint slowly. It just means that after about a week it needs flatting and buffering up again, it will pass over time. This is way UV heaters are the king as they heat from the inside out.

Peal is natural after you spray, however flatting back and buffing is also natural..... any amount of peal can be taken out in a short space of time.

Did they spray in a booth? if they did there is sometimes not the need to flat back so it just sounds like there being lazy to me.

Why has overspray been allowed to get on the wheel arch liners on the Astra? Even though it's on the back of them they should have been removed or masked.

Edward, if you look a little closer you will see that the arch liner has acturly been removed and the back of that is the metal base. Even though the arch liner will cover this we always underseal arch liners when finished, as we did on the supra. There is no point in masking this area up, its always full of muck and you never find a easy surface to mask to. Plus if you pasting a transparent colour, the pressure on the gun will be high and at this point a small opening on a masked panel will allow overspray to entire. You always no matter how good your masking is get area's of over spraying, hence why you allow up to 2 days for flatting, polisihing and rectification works.

The pink in itself is an awesome awesome colour, extreamly hard to spray, mega perly.

I also have finished pictures of the supra now, with new wheels and having been fully valleted by the guys. Owner was over the moon and has booked his girlfriends and his mates supra in for immediate work.

On the spoiler side of things, it looks like thats been sprayed from factory on the plastic gel coat (which arguably is a primer). However there is some type of reaction going on there (I would guess involing heat and solvents escaping from the plastic).

The remady would to be sand the spoiler back down, lay primer on heavily and then respray. The paint looks very thin there as well.

Hi mate,

Smoothing the side strips is a massive task, there are fixing holes and a hard swag line to rebuild.

Colour coding them is pretty easy, If there textured then I will say £121 to spray both sides.

Hope that helps!

Been up to quite a bit over the last few weeks, however my point and shoot skills have been forgotten a little due to having a large amount of traders cars coming in and out.

Anyway, finally got our new lighting system up in our booth:

 


 


And a few other things we been doing, most are pretty self explanatory:

Merc Wheel Refurbishment:

 


 


 


Civic Bumper/Wing Repair

 


 


Few more of the Astra Bits sprayed up, this car has been completely finished now but I need to get the images of my other camera:

 


 


 


 


 


Tams Rear lights:

 


 


 


Also working on this rather nice E36 328. Full AC schnitzer kit and wheels, as well as some rather interested Schnitzer swade bucket seats which I have never seen before. Full rust restoration to the rear and front panels, as well as repairing the carbon fibre and also full respraying the car:

 


 


 


 


More pictures of this to come!

Couple of bumper corners here before flatting, these both had massive scuffs on:

 


 


Also had a ST, which had the entire passengers side kicked in, didn't get any starting photo's but it was really really bad. Had to rebuild all of the door's swage lines by eye:

More updates on the S2000. Outside bodywork fitting is now nearly 100%. We are now making sebs arch's suitable to take large wheels. Obveriously the rear and front overfenders are about 2 inches inside the new fibre glass outer edge. So we cut back the metal archs, welded them back then fibre glassed over them to stop any hash edges catching on the wheel.

We will also be making Seb Custom wheel archs out of plastic as well, so that road muck does not get thrown up inside the kit and allowed to sit on the metalwork.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Also we finally worked out what the odd spare bit of the kit was for, and fuel cap extension. However like normal it fitted horribly. So we now cut the entire thing and reshaped it so it will fit like stock:
