Triumph 1800 Roadster For Sale
This page contains information on the Body work performed.

After I removed the fire wall for sand blasting, I went back to the fenders and started the body work on the hood, side doors, Dickie door, and windshield frame, and finely the rest of the body. The first step is to straiten any low spots, gently using hammer and dolly, and you will find out very quickly just how soft the aluminum on your Roadster is. Most Triumph Roadsters owners do not know that most of the soft aluminum parts were stamped with rubber molds when this car was produced. When using body filler for the low spots. |

I Sanded the All Metal smooth then its time for Rust Defender a spray able filler. For you do it your selfers, see directions on your gun and Rust Defender for application. I used a .2 needle, and 40 psi, and that was how I was able to get the best results with my equipment. Spray two coats of Rust defender on as thick as possible.

Block sand all the Rest Defender off, and you will get this effect. The bare metal will show on the high spots, light orange in color where you sanded, and dark orange will show in the low spots.
