We’ve been so busy recently at Bridge Classic Cars that unfortunately our 1971 Jaguar E-Type Roadster has taken a little bit of a back seat.
Having stripped it bear metal some time ago we were quick to whisk her off to the sandblaster ready to have the sandblasting treatment done but not so quick in asking for her back.
Until now…
Here she is, back with us in the Bridge Classic Cars workshops ready to be repaired and prepared for a full respray.
Repairing the sump guard
August 18, 2016
We’ve been in two minds whether to replace the sump guard with brand new or repair the damage area that we have discovered on the original.
Having accessed the volume of damage we have come to the conclusion that repairing the original would be much more beneficial in the long run. Not only is this the more cost effective option but it means we can keep the original part and not replace with an after-market option.
As you can see from the images, the damage to the original sump guard was such a small and minor repair that it made sense to work on the original part. As we have the skills to weld this was not too much of a challenge for Asa.
