Stripping the MGB Roadster

More images from the strip down of our 1975 MG B Roadster. As we say time and time again, it is very important to take lots of pictures which carrying out a restoration. What might seem simple to remember may not be so simple when you come to refit.

 

1987 Mercedes 500SL

Our newest addition is our fantastic 1987 Mercedes 500SL, this one is ours and this one is a keeper.

She has been sitting locally for some time and after a gentle poke we managed to get her fired up and able to drive her back to our new Woodbridge workshops.

First stop is with Mike at Shine Supply UK to have a full and thorough detail. After that we can look at the options on this one and see what work she will require.

Stripping the MGB

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Work has commenced on our 1975 MG B restoration.

The images are not very clear but we have photographed lots of the areas prior to dismantling so we have a good point of reference for when it is time to rebuild. This exercise is very important when carrying out a full restoration because it will be some time until the refit starts and what you feel you might remember now may not be the case later down the line.

Mercedes rust gets the Tommy treatment

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tommy has had a good, solid two days of welding on the Mercedes 230E, tackling the corrosion and affected areas.

All of the rot has been cut away, metalwork is now being re-fabricated back into the body before being treated. We estimate another couple of days on the bodywork before we let her loose with our paint guys to make her pretty once again.

Getting ready for the new arches

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s been a long time coming and this date has been in our diary for many months. Our 1983 Mercedes 230E is now in our workshops ready to have the first sign of corrosion addressed and the new arches secured into position.

Monday morning we will get on it right away as we have a fair bit of welding to undertake before we look to get the bodywork into paint preparation.
