Heater valve finally started leaking this week so a straight forward job of removing the matrix and swapped for a new one. I took the opportunity to flush out the matrix with a weak caustic solution. Good water flow now and a substantial amount heat being blown into the car.
Welcome to the restoration journey of my beloved 1973 Citroën DS23 Pallas. This classic car was manufactured with great care and precision at the Quai de Javel factory in Paris. A true masterpiece, it boasts a 5 speed manual transmission and carburettor engine. With its beautiful beige Tholonet exterior and caramel Jersey Velours rayé interior, this car is a true work of art. Join me as I bring this classic Citroën back to its former glory and share my restoration process with you all.

Front door repairs
All welded, skimmed with fine surface filler, seams sealed with flexible PU sealer and first coat of 2k etch primer, still needs a bit of work but going on the car to try the fit.
Inside of door now painted and waxoiled, started to build up locks, window regulator, trims and seals etc. Very pleased with the paint finish. |
