New Inner Liner
February 13, 2023
Brian has been fitting a new inner liner to the roof of our 1994 Rover 216 Cabriolet. The process started by lowering the hood so the front of the hood could be undone to fit the new liner.
The metal trim holding the front rubber seal in place was removed but the front edge of the hood was released. The headliner was then removed before the new liner was placed under the outer hood. Brian then glued the front edge of the new inner liner before glueing and riveting the rear flap to the frame.
The headliner was refitted and the front edge of the hood was glued to the frame while a new rubber seal was fitted too.
Preparing For MOT
February 13, 2023
Classic car technician Steve has been working on our 1988 Toyota MR2 getting it ready for an MOT.
Preparation work began with welding repairs on the driver’s side front chassis. Steve noticed that, unfortunately, the corrosion had spread to the front of the sill and inner sill as well as the inner skin of the anti-roll bar fixing.
Once the welding repairs were complete, Steve went on to replace the split steering rack boots. The brake fluid reservoir pipes were badly cracked so these were also replaced.
During his work on our 1988 Toyota MR2, Steve also found that the rear brake calliper pistons were corroded, had seized and were leaking.

Our 1959 Jensen 541R has had more work on its interior completed recently.
Lydia finished the base cushions for the front seats, covered the pair of rear quarters, made the headlining, covered the rear centre panel, and covered the glovebox door.
While Lydia was working on the interior of our classic Jensen, Al was conducting his final checks that the chrome surround and flap fit the repaired bodywork before putting it into primer. The sills and bonnet were also primed.
Chris was also working on our 1959 Jensen 541R. His focus was on the fibreglass roof.
