1968 Volkswagen – Body Repairs

We had a visit to our workshops this afternoon from Lisa and her daughters in their wonderful 1968 Volkswagen Beetle.

Certain areas are in need of a little attention from Antony and Scott in the fabrication department and Darren and Chris in the paint shop. The wheel arches are heavily corroded around the meeting point with the side steps. the rear is also suffering too. All metalwork will have to cut out and replaced with new or new panels fitted and then we will look to carry out a re-paint from the windows down.

1973 Triumph TR6 Hardtop

Our 1973 Triumph TR6 factory hardtop is currently in restoration here at Bridge Classic Cars.

The hardtop is also having a bit of a face-lift whilst in with us; with all chrome work being removed and a new black ‘stealth-like’ finish.

A lot more repair work than first anticipated with the roof having suffered a lot of corrosion. All affected areas have been cut out and replaced with new metalwork, the hood is now in the paint shop being primed and painted before heading off into our trim shop for Brian and Kath to fit the new black head lining.

1989 BMW M3

Visiting our workshops this week and due in to have work completed in August we have our incredible 1989 BMW M3. Already causing quite a stir from an Instagram story we issued, the BMW M3 E30 has to be one of the most desirable classics from the 80s.

We’ve already had messages asking whether she’ll be for sale and the answer is no, not yet anyway ๐Ÿ™‚ The car has been brought over from Spain by it’s current owner who intends on using it as one of his incredible daily drivers.

In with us to have the bodywork tidied up and a full re-spray we’ll have more pictures for you in August.

1982 Porsche 911 – Paint Repairs and Roof Lining Repairs

Our 1982 Porsche 911 is in the workshops to have a couple of areas of paintwork addressed. The front nearside wing has a small but deep scratch that needs repairing. The rear spoiler has unfortunately suffered the effects of having slight moisture. The car has been sitting under a cover and we believe the cover has allowed moisture to get in but not to breath which has resulted in a very minor bubbling effect. This area will need to be stripped of paint, treated, prepared properly and re-painted.

Whilst in, we will look to repair a small tear in the roof lining. We are aiming to repair the area in situ, without having to replace it with new. itr would be lovely to keep the existing roof lining but we’ll assess the results once complete to see whether it is to our satisfaction.

Finally, all four wheels will undergo a full refurbishment.
