1–2 GENERAL INFORMATIONNUBIRA/LACETTI
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTION
This publication is designed to help you the body repair
technician with your specialized work. Vehicle bodywork
has changed a great deal over the years. As vehicles
have developed technically, vehicle bodywork has also
had to meet new requirements with design, changes to
reconcile apparently conflicting demands to name just a
few examples:
S strength and safety ; low weight
S spaciousness ; good aerodynamices
S high quality ; low price
.
The durability and ease of repair of the bodywork also
plays an important part.
.
Nowadays, the use of highly automated production
equipment makes it possible to maintain the tightest
tolerances and thus ensure a high level of quality.
.
When bodywork is damaged, the customer rightly ex-
pects it to be expertly repaired to the same quality stan-
dards.
.
At the same time, for his safety, the customer expects
you to have comprehensive knowledge of materials,
measuring and straightening methods, possible distor-
tion, optimum corrosion prevention and much more be-
sides.
.
This publication is designed to help you update your
knowledge and give you an idea of what you require to
rectify moderate or severe accident damage, for your
own safety and for the satisfaction of your customers.
