MG Midget Reassembly – Day 1

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Work is now underway on re-assembling our 1966 MG Midget. It’s been a very good, productive day so far. Everything is looking so lovely as it’s nice and shiny.

When re-building a car or components of a car it’s always best to loosely fit the parts. This way, if you find you need to adjust parts later down the line you can do it easier and without causing any damage. There’s nothing worse than getting this far and then causing slight damage, it is so disheartening. Loosely fitting the parts will reduce the risk of damage.

Just a couple of minor alterations we still need to do; the rear bumper and rear number plate light is not fitting quite how we want them too so we need to concentrate a little bit more of our time to these areas.

VW T25 Ready for restoration

Our reputation is spreading. Margaret Langley of Hopeman, Scotland asked us to source her a camper.

We were lucky enough to be able to secure her a VW T25 that had just been painted. But guess what. We are going to paint it again.

Margaret has specific ideas for her camper so watch this space whilst we develop this lovely camper into something special and totally bespoke.

Back with us at Bridge Classic Cars

Work is now underway on reassembling our beautiful and very rare 1951 MG TD Competition.

We have already had lots of interest in the progress of this restoration but we’d love to hear from you, if you would like to know more about this wonderful car or have information on her that you think we may be unaware of then please get in touch.

Here we are, back in the dry and warmth of Bridge Classic Cars.

We have already had a few visitors to the workshops, eager to see the car, both Steve and Jack love it, we love

…we just can’t wait for her to be built and on the road where she belongs.

New-look Buttermarket takes shape.

New-look Buttermarket takes shape as Empire Cinema, Wagamama and Cosy Club prepare to open.

The entrance to the Buttermarket Shopping Centre with all the glass removed.

The entrance at Arras Square will have a completely new look by the time the new Empire Cinema and a range of family restaurants open during the autumn.

Work is now underway to fit-out the 12-screen cinema which will include several smaller screens that could be used for specialist films or second-run showings.

There is also ongoing work to fit out the restaurants, including Wagamama, Cosy Club and Byron’s Burgers. The centre should be totally reopened by mid-November after the £35m investment by new owners Capital and Regional and their partners Drum Property Group.

Work on the project started last year, and has already seen TK Maxx and New Look stores move to new units in the centre.

The former food court at the centre is being converted into a Pure Gym – and the area of Arras Square outside the centre will be remodelled with new seating and meeting areas.
