That is what the outcome will be on the 1998 Honda Integra Type R that we are currently working at Bridge Classic Cars will be by the end of the process.
Our talented and experienced painter Chris has been working hard on getting the Integra prepped to have some paintwork retouch. As you saw in the last post, the engine bay had grown tired. It was time for a refresh on this future classic.
Chris, our in-house painter, began by stripping back the affected parts of the engine bay and core support along with a section of the rear quarter panel. This will of course be finished in that bold Championship White to match the rest of the car and to keep it to its original shade of white.

Our unique 2003 Vauxhall VX220 has been into the workshop this week in preparation for its lucky winner for some remedial work.
On inspection, our technicians found that the heater valve for the vehicle had been incorrectly fitted. Not a problem for our technician Paul. Quickly but methodically, he sorted out the issue to make sure this quickly appreciating classic was in tip-top shape before its draw on Thursday night.

Goodwood. A single place so synonymous with classic motoring, it instantly is recognised by enthusiasts the world over as an event that you must attend at least once in your life.
For our technician Tamas, that was this weekend. It began early to make sure that by the time he arrived at the hallowed West Sussex circuit, he still had the entire day to soak in and absorb every incredible piece of machinery.
As you can see by the photos, there was a plethora of vintage metal. From racing minis to a 300SL Gullwing parked in a car park. At Revival, every vintage taste is catered for.
Each class would line up side by side for their audience to pour-over. These irreplaceable pieces of motorsport history, poised to get out on track and do what they were always intended for. With a wave of noise and excitement, these mechanical gladiators left the paddock.
Once on track, the cars were at it hell for leather. Every tenth of a second counted, even in such a prestigious grid.
The atmosphere around the pits and throughout the grounds of the circuit was electric. Throngs of wide-eyed fans walking in surges past legends of yesteryear to even just have the slightest chance of a glimpse at their automotive heroes.
Throughout the day, each of the races was announced of the tannoy. With that, you could watch the waves of adoring fans rush to the circuit while the previous spectators filed their way back in. This was the pace of the day, an ebb and floe from the paddocks out to the circuit. The cars though, were where the attention was.
Without a doubt, we will be back next year for this amazing event.
Work has begun on the interior of our incredible ”Barn Find” 1956 Jensen 541. As you can see, it’s not in the best condition but that’s not a problem for our incredible in-house trim shop.
The original interior unfortunately had succumbed to the passing of time. As you can see, there wasn’t much left after our in-house trim team began to pull it apart.
This interior will see the light of day again!
Be sure to keep an eye on our news page for more updates about this project very soon.

Lydia, one of our in-house technicians here at Bridge Classic Cars, has been hard at work carefully removing the paint from some of the pieces removed during the restoration of the 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 we have in with us in Suffolk.
Lydia used all the techniques she has gained in her experience to expertly preserve the material of the part where possible. A mixture of sanding, stripping and thinners were used to get the pieces back to bare metal for assessment if any repairs were going to be needed during the restoration of such an amazing handbuilt car.
With such an in depth restoration, all handled in-house by us here at Bridge Classic Cars, each of the components across the entire car are always dealt with in the same careful and dutiful manner.
Charlotte has made it to the VintageCarGirls Insta gallery. During her recent holiday Charlotte caught a glimpse of a classic T2 camper. She posted the image to her own gallery where VintageCarGirls picked it up from.
Thanks for the share…keep up the great work!
