Stripped ready for bodywork preparation

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It doesn’t take long to strip a car of it’s components.

If you are new to restorations do ensure you document where certain parts you have removed originally came from. It seems like a simple thing to remember but when you have a million and one things going through your mind, you might find, when it comes to rebuilding the car you have no idea where the piece you have in your hand actually goes…we’ve all been there.

Here is our 1966 MG Midget stripped of its external parts including all lighting and brightwork.

The next stage is to prepare the bodywork ready for paint.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5057,5058,5059,5060,5061″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Fitting the Maserati Merak Suspension

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Work is underway today to fit the front suspension to the Maserati Merak.

As we are used to so very often, a full classic car restoration is never as straight forward as the guys on the TV show you.

We are currently working from a very old but original Maserati Merak manual, the biggest problem being that the entire book is printed in Italian…makes life very tricky!

The diagrams are good though, here are a selection of images of the front suspension.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4771,4772,4773,4774,4768,4770,4769″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
