Facel Vega Dashboard Restoration – The end of a Facel 3 project.

What a pleasure! It is not often that I see the dashboards back in their cars after I’ve restored them but this week I had the pleasure of seeing photos of this Facel Vega dashboard restoration project that I had painted by hand for a customer from Lille who entrusted his car to Auto Classic Restauration Normandie for its restoration. I really appreciate it when my customers show me their vehicles at the end of their restoration. Especially Facel Vega’s projects which are quite rare but a pleasure to do.

And here are a few of my photos of the dashboard after restoration just as it left my workshop to go back to the classic car restoration garage Auto Classic Restauration Normandie.
