Beetle Headliner
September 15, 2023
Classic car technicians Brian and Lydia have continued their work on the interior of our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle.
They screwed the rear wooden frame rail to the frame bars, before fitting the rear edge of the headliner to the back edge of the car. The front edge was then fitted to the front of the frame and the metal trim panel was put on to hold it in place.
Brian stapled the rear flap of the headliner to the rear wooden frame bar before glueing the front flap of the headliner to the frame bars.
Once the headliner was in place, the rear side panels were glued and the rear carpet was glued over the top to keep everything secure and where it should be.
A Winning Visit
September 15, 2023
Back on 22nd August, Robert Alfonso won our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 when his ticket number 878 was randomly drawn as the winner.
As our E-Type sold out in just a couple of weeks, it was drawn much earlier than scheduled. The live draw was actually meant to take place this past Tuesday (12th September). As it sold out so early, the car wasn’t quite finished and ready to go.
However, we didn’t want to make Robert wait any longer before he got to see his very own E-Type so we invited him to the workshop so he could see it for himself.
Robert spent a couple of hours with the team here, not only admiring the new addition to his garage but also the other stunning classic cars we are currently working on. He even got a short drive with Bridge Classic Cars Director, Gordon too.
As you can see from the photos below, it was a great visit and we are very much looking forward to our E-Type leaving the workshop and being delivered to its new home.
The Inspection Begins
September 15, 2023
Our 1979 Ford Escort MK2 has been going through its initial inspection with classic car technician Jonn.
During the inspection, Jonn fixed a locking issue on the nearside rear door. The horn connection was cleaned before the interior was striped so Jonn could resolve an issue with the reverse light wiring. New wiring was installed from the gearbox to the reverse lights and a new exhaust heatshield was also fitted.
Once he has finished assessing the vehicle, we will be able to put together a plan of action for getting it live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions in the very near future.
Almost Ready
September 15, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been continuing his work to get our 2020 AK 427 ready to go live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions very soon.
Jonn fitted a new sump gasket and torqued the sump to 12nm. He then checked the vacuum pressure cooling system, with it steadily holding pressure, indicating no loss of vacuum and, therefore, no leaks.
The white screw on the number plate was swapped for a black one before the car was run up to temperature where all the gauges were reading fine and within specifications.
Our AK 427 is now almost ready to be won by its lucky new owner.
