1974 Citroen D Super - Pallas job
I know its not an xm, but im sure you'll forgive the transgression Here is the 74 D super i got to play with the other weekend....
The car was in good shape overall having been restored in 2009, but the vertical panels had quite alot of swirling to them, and the overall colour just lacked some "pop" The owner was happy with the transformation :love:
I didn't get many before shots as time was limited and the weather was blowing a gale and raining hard...atrocious
Before shots:
Then the finished shots (got more of them as the client wanted a good spread)
Full write up on here

That really is a cracking colour - looks the same as the car that was on 'wheeler dealer' a few weeks back (probably recorded 10 years ago though!) where dealer boy buys the LHD DS from france - same colour.

That colour though, suits the car so well and in the "after" pics the shine looks so deep you could drown in it!

Re: 1974 Citroen D Super - Pallas job
Thanks guys, It was a pleasure to work on and the guy had a plum and custard 2CV under a cover next to it....he will want that doing he said at some point...
What was good about working on this DS was how solid and perfect the body was. It had been restored in 2009 and was done properly. The other DS Pallas i did some time ago, the black one looked amazing when it was done, but it really wasn't a solid car like this one and you could see it needed alot of work beneath the surface.
Ive posted this and some other stuff on the Citroen car club facebook page and pitched for an early cx or gs / ami to work on offering a good deal to do the job as I really want to do one, but Ive got no bites...a shame really as I would be in my element doing one of those models
