Mark and Lauren have had a busy morning removing and loosening all of the components required to remove the engine from our 1932 Vauxhall Cadet.
Hopefully we’ll have a body minus an engine by the end of the day so it can start to be stripped and prepared ready for rebuild.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Tuesday 20th September our completed 1951 MG TD Competition Abington MK II was taken to Priory Hall in Hadleigh, Suffolk for the celebratory photo shoot.
We were welcomed at the beautiful hall by owner Cyndy who showed us her own MG tucked away ready for the summer.
A special thank you as always to Jason at Sugar and Spice Photography for his incredible skills and thank you also to Hayley and Lauren from the 1940’s harmony trio The Bombshells for bringing a bit of glamour to the shoot.

New UK registration has arrived
October 19, 2016
It’s been a long time coming but the new V5 UK registration is now with us. The new UK plates have been produced.
Unfortunately it was a little too late coming so our wonderful photo shoot by Jason at Sugar and Spice Photography with Hayley and Lauren from Halo Entertainment took place at Priory Hall in Hadleigh on the old plates.
I’m sure you’ll agree, it still looks incredible.
Here are the new plates, you can imagine them being on the car in the photos!!

…and we’ve found the issues but unfortunately it will mean the engine will now need to be removed.
It’ll be removed later today and completely stripped down for internal inspection.
Whether the bloc will need to be re-bored or honed will be evident further in to the process once it has been stripped down.
Here are the images from our Endoscope you can see the damage inside bore 5 and 6. As you can see, a dirty substance has been found.
Substance found in the cooling system
October 19, 2016
Our 1969 MGB V8 is in today to be MOT’d. This was due to take place in the afternoon which gave us the morning to get a few extra jobs done to the car.
Our first job of the day was to fit the new cooling fan to the radiator, once this was in place we wired it up before refitting the bumper and grille.
A 12v socket was to be fitted to the passenger footwell too.
Unfortunately during our work we discovered a substance within the cooling system which needed to be immediately addressed. We are currently working on the issue to prevent it from happening again.
