Our technician Mauro has been waiting on some parts for the 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible for some time now. These parts have all had to be sourced from the US so there is bound to be a bit of a wait for them.
The car was assessed and inspected so that all the parts could be ordered in one go but first on the list is the rear axle seals and wheel cylinders. Mauro had noted down a small leak coming from the rear axle and while the rear drums have to be removed for the axles to come out, we thought it best practice to service the rear brakes. In all, their condition was fine. The shoes had plenty of material and all the hardware looked straight and in good order.
So, Mauro decided that just the wheel cylinders would need replacement. As we got the axle out, the backing plates off the drums it was time to pull the old leaking seals out. Carefully, Mauro removed the old seals and prepped the area to receive the brand new seals. They went in perfectly.
Working back out, Mauro began to put the drums back together. As he did, he replaced the wheel cylinders and bled the system. So now, there’s just one more job to do on the back end of the Mustang…
Kath, our in-house trim expert has been hard at work finishing up the install of the headliner into the 1970 Dodge Charger we have here at Bridge Classic Cars.
The headliner is such a crucial part of the interior of any car let alone a classic that its fit and finish must be as close to perfect as possible. Thankfully, that is what our in-house trim shop is known for. Kath has carefully stretched and secured the headliner into place to make sure that across the roof of this iconic muscle car, everything lines up.
The interior for this particular Charger is important as it must compliment the vibrant exterior colour scheme but also match the finish of the car. So, next up. Kath will be fitting the 2 piece door cars.
On Sunday, October 10th, Bridge Classic Cars welcomed East Coast Retros to our Bentwaters and Pettistree sites to host one of their meets. Cars of all shapes and sizes found their way onto the pads surrounding our hanger.
Although the weather turned throughout the day, there was an amazing turnout. The cars and their owners were invited into the hanger to see what we currently have in and also to look around the latest competition cars parked proudly in the centre of the hanger.
The whole day was free for anyone to attend but we did manage to raise over £450 for the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation!
There was an incredible atmosphere around the event as people from all over the area came to be amongst friends and fellow petrolheads so we look forward to welcoming East Coast Retros back very soon!
