Repairing a dashboard

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Here we have the dashboard from a 1974 Jaguar XJ6 in need of repair.

As you can see the cushioning inside has been damaged which has caused the outer lining to be torn.

There are many ‘do it yourself’ repair kits on the market but in order to remove this level of damage the dashboard requires recovering. This is a service we can offer at Bridge Classic Cars.

An unexpected issue has arisen…

Sometimes, when you are working on vehicles of this age, you discover more issues then you set out to work on.

As we lifted the jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster up onto the ramp the perished bushes could not handle it anymore and the shocks just gave up, leaking all over the floor.

Not a huge issue to resolve but none the less, a very important one. If we hadn’t discovered this when we did this could have gone back out onto the road and given up at any second.

New shocks and bushes were purchased the car was as good as new once again.
