James has been shrinking the bonnet skin of our 1973 Jaguar E-type Series 3 Roadster to make profile match on both sides. Once he finished converting the left hand front bumper from USA to UK spec he fitted it with rubber and re-shaping it to give an even gap on the body. This is so that the runner is not pinched or deformed once assembled.
Our 1997 Jaguar XK8 has been prepped and readied for primer and then followed up with its final paint stage.
Matt also masked up for stone chip on the sill and arch lips before applying the final paint. Matt explained that “we check for colour coverage by turning the booth lights off and using a special torch to make sure base coat has covered”. This allows the team to ensure that the paint is sat as it should do. Once the base coat had been applied, Matt could then add the clear coat and finish the car.
It now looks good as new – you’d never know the rear quarter had been taken apart!
We have finished our 1968 MG B GT which needed the brakes taken apart, cleaned, adjusted and bled, as well as setting up the pointers gap and timing for the carburettors, which were also stripped cleaned and adjusted. We also addressed the scraping noise which turned out to be the drum hitting the back plate.
Our 1971 MG Midget has been completed and sent back off. We replaced the faulty distributer cap and set up the timing for the carburettors and points gap. We then road tested it and found it ran perfectly.
This Land Rover Series 3 has been assessed for body work and engine work however we are unsure to our next steps with it. It may come in in the future and we hope to see it again soon.
We’re delighted to recieve this fantastic video from Matt Wild, videographer, who shot alongside Lydia Harper a few weeks ago for a project with Lydia’s creative agency Parc Ferme and Deus Ex Machina.
With Hannah Coe as the model and Alice Harper as the assistant, the team created these stunning visuals with the help of Bridge Classic Car’s selection of motors.
