Replacing the inner sills of our 1996 Jaguar XJR Supercharged

The new wheel arches are now fitted up and ready for shaping.
Tommy is now removing the inner sills and fabricating new as a direct replacement. As you can see, the sills have suffered hugely over the years and the metalwork needs to be cut out at the source and replaced with new. Not tackling these problems correctly will result in the affected areas deteriorating even more.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After 14 years being tucked up in a garage in Shieldaig, Scotland, our 1981 Alfa Romeo Spider has once again seen the daylight. We have spent the morning freeing her up and getting ready for the long trip down to Suffolk.
W have called upon the help of our good friend Ron from K.A.R.R Solutions who has agreed to transport the car down to our workshops.
Having stopped up here over night we are sad to be saying goodbye to this stunning setting but we can’t wait to get our Alfa back into our workshops for a full inspection and assessment.

1990 Morgan 4/4 – getting summer ready
March 12, 2018
We have now taken in the first of the fantastic collection of cars on offer at Big Sky Classic Car Hire. With a diary full of summer bookings, the cars have been off the road for the winter and have come in now for a general check over and to correct any minor issues that have developed over the season.
First up, we have our 1990 Morgan 4/4. One of only 42 1990 4/4’s and one of 3,560 4/4’s of all ages currently licensed or SORNd in the UK.
The 4/4 (stands for ‘four wheels and 4 cylinders’) model was launched in 1936 and is still the smallest and lightest of the Morgan 4 wheel cars in production.
In 1936 the engine was an 1100 cc Coventry Climax unit and since then a variety of engines and transmissions have been used but in more recent years Ford 1600 or 1800 engines and gearboxes have dominated. A total of 5448 versions of this particular model were made between 1968 and 1993 in both 2 and 4 seater options.
