Tony from Wyatt Polishing comes to visit

Our good friend Tony from Wyatt Polishing in Thetford came to visit our Ipswich workshops today.

He has just finished re-chroming the door handles of our 1971 Volvo P1800 and said he’d drop them off for us, fantastic customer service I think you’ll agree.

…and not just an excuse to get out of the office and take his MG Midget for a spin!

The new windscreen has now been fitted to our freshly painted VW T25 Camper.

She is now watertight.

Just a few more days till we see her back in our Ipswich workshops ready for the custom design decals to be added and the interior to be fitted up.

Lots of images from our engine stripdown

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we’ve said on many occasions, when carrying out any work on your classic car (or modern for that matter!) take lots of photos! Some of them you’ll look at in years to come and think “what did I take a picture of that for?” but trust us, that random picture might come in quite handy.

It’s easy to look at the engine you’re currently taking apart and think “I’ll remember where that goes” and then life gives you other things to concentrate on. When you finally get round to rebuilding the engine you took apart all that time ago, you have something random in your hand and you’re looking at a hole in front you questioning whether it’ll fit…that’s when the photo will come in handy!

1968 MGBGT in our paintshop

Here we have the first images of the new Snowberry White finish to our 1968 MGBGT.

Snowberry White is a very creamy white. It was a very popular colour used in the 1960’s and generally speaking was used by the MG, Austin and Rover motor companies.
