In Colour – Inside of the Bonnet for the 1969 Morris Minor Convertible Painted

The paint shop at Bridge Classic Cars have been working on getting the underside of the bonnet for the 1969 Morris Minor Convertible into colour as part of its restoration.

The paint and body team have methodically cleaned down and prepared the bonnet for this step of the paint which first involves a layer of epoxy primer before laying down the Snowberry White paint onto the panel.

Update – Working on the 1971 MG B Roadster

Our 1971 MG B Roadster, which was won last week through our Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, has been in the workshop to have a few of the final jobs done on the classic roadster before it heads off to its new home.

The team have swapped out the brake master cylinder for a brand-new replacement due to not being able to bleed the system. Once this was all fit up and plumbed in, our technicians could then work on replacing the wheel cylinders and resetting the pistons back into the front calipers correctly.

Finally, it was time to get the steering wheel realigned while also replacing the rubber boots on the track-rod ends.

Fitted – New Tonneau Cover on the 1962 Morris Minor Convertible

The trim shop at Bridge Classic Cars has fitted the brand new tonneau cover to the 1962 Morris Minor Convertible which recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars Suffolk HQ.

Our trimmer, Brian, carefully cut the necessary holes for the fasteners to go through after carefully measuring out the cover over the lowered hood on the car. This was to achieve the best possible fit for the classic Morris Minor and enhance the amazing condition this wonderful vintage Morris is in.

Final Stage – The 1958 Jensen 541R in Final Primer

The 1958 Jensen 541R has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paint booth to have its final stage of primer laid down onto the bodyshell.

The team have been working hard to prepare the bodywork of the classic GT car. Every surface has been carefully sanded, worked and primed several times over to make sure everything is perfect.

Then the final glass-like primer could be sprayed onto the bodyshell and left to cure properly in our in-house oven.

Out Back – Repairing the Rear Hatch on the 2005 Suzuki Everyvan

The paint and body team at Bridge Classic Cars have been working on addressing a small crack in the rear hatch of the 2005 Suzuki Everyvan.

The team have carefully stripped back the area to expose the bare metal for our fabrication team to weld back up before grinding the area as smooth as possible. From there, the paint and body team took over finessing the area further in order to get it perfectly flat and smooth with minimal filler work needed.
