1982 VW Golf MkI / Mk1 remedial work

We had a visit today from Dan with his beautiful 1982 Volkswagen Golf MkI in need of a little tidying in places.

A couple of areas of paint required and re-upholstery of the front driver’s seat. We’ll also look to either repair or replace the rear parcel shelf, refit some areas of trim that need attention and fit a new sound system throughout.

Porsche 924S Arrives From Pie Performance

The latest car to arrive at Bridge Classic Cars is this incredibly well presented Porsche 924S. We purchased this vehicle from Porsche Specialists, Pie Performance in Suffolk.

Our Porsche is the latest car to be offered up as a competition. One lucky winner will have this car delivered. Tickets are limited to 1500, and at only £9 a ticket the odds of winning are really quite realistic.

1960 Morris Mini Deluxe Body Preparation

Our 1960 Morris Mini is for our own private collection and the body preparation is nearing completion in the trusted and capable hands of our good friend Darrell. Once completed, the car will return to us for paint.

1989 E30 BMW 325 Completed

We finished work on this lovely E30 BMW a few months ago but have only just got around to photographing it out in the sun.

The car came in for a general recommission. In essence, doing everything the vehicle needs to get back on the road whilst making a few cosmetic improvements. Looking a little worse for wear, there were several major pieces of mechanical and cosmetic restoration to undertake with this project.

The car has had rust repairs, fabrication and been undersealed. It’s also needed a new fuel tank, fuel filter, new disks and pads and full brake service, new stainless steel exhaust and a variety of smaller mechanical components.

Darren has done a fabulous job freshening up the paintwork of this lovely E30 and our Classic Car Technicians (mainly Pete) have ensured it’s mechanically ready to be put back on the road and enjoyed.

1996 Rover Mini in the Paint Shop

We recently painted our lovely little 1996 Mini. The car has now been fitted up by our good friend Ted at Team C Racing and is back with us to have a few minor repairs and touching up in the paint shop. The work is now complete and the car safely back with Ted to continue the rebuild.
