Refurbished wheels make a big difference to the final look of a classic car and, as you can see from the photos below, our Frogeye wheels are no exception to this.

No More Cowboys
July 10, 2023
Since our 1977 Lambretta Jet 150 came into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, there has been a lot of discussion about whether the vinyl cowboy stickers should be left on or removed before it goes live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
In the end, it was decided to remove them during the preparation process of the classic scooter. After the stickers were removed, classic car technician Mauro completed some welding repairs and some filler work before priming the side covers ready for paint.
Once the freshly painted panels go back on our classic scooter, it will be one step closer to going live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
Ready To Go Back Together
July 10, 2023
Our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle is coming to the end of its stay in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop. Before it leaves though, Chris has been finishing the painting of our classic Beetle known as Delilah.
After it came out of the paint booth and Chris had worked his magic, you can see from the photos below that the new coat of paint has made the already beautiful Beetle even more eye-catching.
We are certainly looking forward to seeing Delilah continue on her restoration journey with us and seeing her eventually go back home to her owner.
