The Bridge Classic Cars team have been busy working on the 1975 MGB GT V8 across multiple departments here at the Bridge Classic Cars HQ as part of the cars restoration. Our paint and body team have worked their magic on the underside of the car.

Our technician Adam cleaned down the primed body shell to then carefully and methodically seam seal the car before then going through the process of colour matched Raptorguard under the car to protect it in the future,

Meanwhile, in our finishing room, Rob has been stripping down, cleaning and rebuilding the carburettors for the 3.5-litre V8. Soon, the car will be moved after the bodyshell has been painted, clear coated, flat and polished to our finishing for Rob to begin the process of getting the car back together.

Rob stripped down the carburettors, sand blasted the bodies and linkages while also polishing the dashpots before reassembling the units with new gaskets, seals and jets.
