As well as the new benches, our new building, The Classic Lounge, is nearing completion. We had a meeting in there last week so took the opportunity to put 2 special cars in there and they certainly looked the part!
More information on the new things coming to Bridge Classic Cars will be available very soon.

Trim and fit under dash cover. Modify slightly as brantz wiring interferes with fit. Secure in place. Fit seat runners to drivers seat mountings and space up accordingly. Fit passengers seat. Mock up and remove to drill fixing holes in case. Elongate holes to allow room for alignment with floor. Again, space up accordingly. Fit drivers seat. Elongate front holes to match runner mounting points and secure. Slide seat backwards and adjust mirrors close to final position. Make small grub screw for gear knob.
