Scott has cut out the pervious repairs and worked back further into the car until the solid metal. From there he’s fabricating repair sections and welded them in, repairing correctly any rotten sections along the way. Great Work, Scott.

1972 Peugeot 504 Engine Testing
February 27, 2020
Ady, Bridge Classic Cars’ engine specialist has set to work on our Peugeot 504 Engine recommission.
Before removing the engine Ady has checked each cylinders compression. We’ve found slightly low compression on one of the cylinders and will report this back to the customer.
We then removed the engine and took off some components including the inlet manifold for sandblasting and painting.
We’ve found that front engine cover was worn due to being incorrectly previously fitted. The front crankshaft pulley also is showing signs of wear. Based on our findings Ady is recommending a lip seal conversion.
Once these issues with the engine have been resolved we will be fully detailing the engine and engine bay to get this lovely rare classic show ready.
