Reinstating the Stag’s newly built engine

We have now completed the rebuild of our 1978 Triumph Stag engine. The belts and filters are on order so now Pete is on a mission to have the gearbox and engine fitted back in over the next couple of days. Firstly, we’ll clean up the engine bay whilst the engine is out.

 

The biggest task is now complete. The gearbox is back into position and the engine has been fitted back into the car. Now for connecting up the ancillaries and getting the car back on the road.

1964 Land Rover Visiting

We had a special visit today from Mat and his 1964 Land Rover.

Matt would like to see the checker plating removed from the car and has asked us to sympathetically repair the bodywork so as not to interfere with the current overall look.

As you can see to the rear of the car the checker plating has already been removed so this will also need some attention too.

The future plans for the car is to replicate a fire response unit but with the details matching the ‘patina’ and overall look of the current state.

This is a fantastic little project and we are very excited to see the car in our workshops.
