A small delay on the restoration due to a couple of imperfections that we found in the paintwork. Nothing too major but worth addressing so we’ve had it back in the paint shop for a couple of weeks to rectify the issues. We now have it back in our workshops, all done and looking fantastic […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Lauren has been busy sorting through the MG BGT chrome work. MG’s are a brilliant vehicle to work on as parts are so readily available. Our job now is to decide on ‘what needs to be re-chromed’ against ‘what can be purchased new’ against ‘what is good enough to be polished and reused’. When making […]
Here we have our 1968 MGBGT dashboard stripped of all its components and ready for Trevor to work his magic on the wrinkle effect paint coating.
With the majority of the components cleaned up and refurbished and the shell back from the paint shop looking stunning in Snowberry White, tomorrow we all plan to get together to discuss the next step of the build. We are hoping that after tomorrow’s meeting we’ll have a better idea as to any special requirements […]
Here we have the first images of the new Snowberry White finish to our 1968 MGBGT. Snowberry White is a very creamy white. It was a very popular colour used in the 1960’s and generally speaking was used by the MG, Austin and Rover motor companies.
Work is well underway on preparing our 1968 MGBGT body shell ready for paint. Not a huge amount is required on the body shell as it arrived to us in very good condition. By the end of this week we should see her finished in Snowberry White.
Here you can see the extent of work that is required on the existing body shell of our MGBGT. We are never put off by the amount of bodywork that is required on a restoration. At the end of the day, we are restoration specialists so no task is ever too daunting but we always […]
As we await the new old body shell that will be arriving at Bridge Classic Cars later this month, work got underway today on stripping and removing all of the components from our existing MGBGT ready for the restoration to begin. Sean joined the Bridge Classic Cars team today and immediately got stuck in to the […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Whilst John is busy stripping the MGBGT of it’s interior and exterior components he is photographing and documenting the wiring as it is so that it makes the job of reinstalling that bit easier. Although we’ll be fitting a brand new wiring loom throughout a record may come in very handy as a place to […]
Mark and Sean have been busy stripping our MGBGT of all of it’s components in preparation for the new body shell to arrive. As parts are being removed, we are stripping, cleaning, repairing and refurbishing any components that we intend on refitting. We find it best to refurbish as we go, not only does it […]
