Restoration: 1964 Austin FX4 Taxi

The 1964 Austin FX4 Taxi underwent a comprehensive restoration involving significant body, chassis, and mechanical work. The project entailed extensive metal repair and fabrication. This work were required to properly address structural needs, including areas not visible once the vehicle was completed.

To ensure the work was done correctly, the body was removed from the chassis, allowing for thorough inspection, repair, and preparation. During reassembly, additional time was required to properly sequence wiring, interior, and trim installation to ensure correct fit and finish. Fitment challenges were also encountered during rear windshield installation.

Overall, the restoration reflects a focus on doing the work properly, prioritizing structural integrity, correct assembly, and long-term reliability.
