Now on with removing the N/S doors and preparing them for stripping.
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.

Door handles
Citroën Classics supply new reproduction door handles for the DS... and very good they are to. The original chrome on the DS models was not of the best quality and 44 years on there was not much of it left, what little was left was flaking off and becoming dangerous as the slithers are very sharp. Fortunately there were very few chrome parts fitted to the DS most being stainless steel or aluminium, apart from the door handles there were the boot lid hinges on the Pallas, door and boot lock barrels and interior lamp surrounds.
