Mr Deans

“I love classic cars and perusing Bridge Classic Cars site. I grew up in the sixties when iconic cars were manufactured so I appreciate what Bridge Classic Cars do. They are restoring and keeping these fantastic cars from disappearing and giving the opportunity to own one for little money, well done.”

Reliant Scimitar Gear Linkages

Steve has removed the gear linkage, stripped it down and cleaned. He is now for new bushes to arrive to be fitted. He has then moved on to cleaning up and fixing the headlamp wiring connectors where they have corroded and worn away.

Morris Minor Pickup Inspection

Jon is now carrying out repairs whilst inspecting our beautiful 1968 Morris 1000 Pickup. This is all in preparation for Molly and the competition team to take control for filming and marketing.

Having been previously restored by the experts at Charles Ware Restoration, the world renowned Morris Minor specialists we don’t expect to find anything too serious to rectofy.

All levels are ok.

We have stripped, cleaned and inspected the brakes. The nearside rear has now been freed off, de-lipped the drums, refitted and adjusted.

All points have been greased and Jon has fitted new nipples to the nearside front trunion.

Strip and fit new nearside track rod end rubber. Glued the scuttle panel rubber seal in place. The grommets have been fitted to the wiring through the nearside bulk head.

The air filter have been removed so we can look into the rich running issue. Jon found the choke cable caught up not allowing the jet tube to return fully. We have remove piston and cleaned along with the needle. We have also fitted a new choke mechanism before operating a few times via choke lever. Tested and it all runs ok.

New tyres to come and a good road test.

Firing up the paint gun for our Spitfire

Alan is now on the exciting stage of preparing the car with epoxy primer. The doors, bonnet, boot lid and body of car are now all primed and ready for the Java Green finished to be applied.
