New gasket fitted

We have now fitted a brand new rubber gasket to replace the faulty one on the car. The customer has specified for the fitment to be rubber but we also have a special order cork gasket heading over from Australia as we speak. The De Tomaso Pantera forums have mixed reviews on both the rubber and cork so with the rubber gasket now fitted and a cork one arriving very soon we will have both options to hand.

The car is back together and ready to go home…

Triumph TR6 Engine Rebuild

The rebuild of our 1973 Triumph TR6 engine is coming along nicely. The engine components have been stripped, cleaned and painted as new.

The engine is now fitted with new pistons, new bearings, new rocker shaft, new rocker fingers, the cylinder head has been unleaded, new valve guides, new oil and water pump, new timing chain kit and all pieced together with brand new bolts.
