1979 Ford Escort RS2000 in the Paint Shop

Chris has done a superb job so far repainting our Ford Escort RS200. It’s had primer coats applied and is just about to get it’s top coat. This lovely Escort RS2000 will be available as a competition very soon.

1988 Nissan 300zx Engine Repairs and Servicing

Pete, one of Bridge Classic Cars’ vehicle technicians has been working on our Nissan 300zx restoration. He has replaced the faulty water pump. He is also giving the engine a full service including new cam belt, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil filter and fresh oil.

Great work, Pete

2003 Mercedes SL55 V8 Wheels

A future competition car, this SL55 is simply gorgeous. However, the wheels where the only area letting the car down. Not anymore.

We’ve refurbished the wheels and refitted them to the car. They’re now looking as good as new.

Some for the future: 1987 MK1 Golf GTI and 1995 BMW 840

We could be looking at some new additions in the paint shop very soon as we are currently in discussion on a full respray of a 1987 Mk1 Golf GTi. As you can see, someone has been at the body already so we will have lots of repairs that will need to be made. I would imagine a lot of repairs will have to be removed and new metalwork fitted.

Next up, we have our 1995 BMW 840. The owner uses the car everyday and is debating whether to sell the car and get into something new or carry out a sympathetic re-spray to bring it back to life and make it look absolutely beautiful once again. Mechanically, the car is in great shape so it is just the aesthetics we need to concentrate on.
