At Kartal Auto, we take immense pride in our craftsmanship and expertise, especially when working on iconic vehicles like the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Recently, we completed the installation of a custom body kit for one of these timeless masterpieces. During the process, our team identified several issues that required careful attention. Below, we outline these challenges and the solutions we provided to ensure the car’s performance and aesthetic standards were upheld.
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Misalignment of Body Panels
- Problem: Upon fitting the new body kit, our team noticed some misalignment of the body panels, which is common in vintage vehicles like the Silver Ghost. This misalignment can affect both the car’s appearance and aerodynamic performance.
- Solution: We performed precise adjustments to the frame and body panels, realigning them using specialized tools. The gaps were corrected, ensuring a seamless fit and a visually perfect finish. Our attention to detail ensured that all lines were smooth and consistent.
2. Issue: Rust and Corrosion on Frame
- Problem: After disassembling parts of the body to fit the new kit, we discovered signs of rust and corrosion on certain sections of the frame. This is a frequent concern with older cars that have been exposed to various weather conditions over the years.
- Solution: We treated the affected areas with rust removal and prevention techniques. After sandblasting, the rust was completely eliminated, and we applied a protective coating to ensure longevity and prevent future issues.
3. Issue: Electrical Wiring Overload
- Problem: While installing the new body kit, we encountered an issue with the car’s electrical wiring. The additional components and upgraded features of the new kit created an overload on the existing electrical system.
- Solution: Our electrical specialists upgraded the car’s wiring system, adding the necessary fuses, relays, and connectors to support the new body kit features. We also checked for any loose connections and ensured that the electrical systems were safely and efficiently integrated.
4. Issue: Suspension Incompatibility
- Problem: The Silver Ghost’s suspension system showed signs of wear and was not fully compatible with the new body kit’s additional weight and design changes.
- Solution: To address this, we upgraded the suspension components, ensuring they could handle the additional load. We installed high-quality springs and shocks that were specifically chosen to maintain optimal ride quality and handling.
5. Issue: Inconsistent Paint Match
- Problem: Matching the paint for a vehicle of this caliber can be challenging, especially when the original paint has aged. The new body kit parts didn’t perfectly match the existing body color, affecting the overall finish.
- Solution: Our expert paint technicians used advanced color-matching technology to ensure the new panels were painted with the exact shade and finish as the original bodywork. After applying multiple layers and polishing, the result was a flawless match that complemented the car’s classic look.
