Managing Director โ€“ Bridge Classic Cars

Our senior technician, Dave, has been working on the 1977 MGB Roadster that is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for restoration. This time, the job is to sort out some of the small holes and issues in the floor pan of the 1970s convertible.

After assessing the area, Dave only removed the material which had been affected. Then, with the patch piece trimmed down to size, Dave could weld the piece into the floor of the car. After it had been welded in and ground back to be perfectly smooth, Dave then could seam-seal the piece into the car.

Now that the floors were rock solid,Dave could replace the sound deadening on the floor so that when this amazing convertible is out on the open road, its very luckily owner just gets to enjoy the sound of the wonderful 4 cylinder rather than the road noise.
