Our 1978 MGB GT is getting even closer to leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Classic car technician Brian has been busy making and fitting a new sunroof for this eye-catching classic car. Brian started by fitting the wood sections to the metal brackets that surround the sunroof opening. He then laid the frame bars onto the old cover to see where they were positioned.
He went on to fit the wood and brackets around the sunroof opening before trial-fitting the roof bars to check everything was the perfect fit.
Brian riveted the roof cables to the front rail before fitting the lock and handle too. The front rail was also trial-fitted so Brian could make sure that it locked into position.
The rubber handle was fitted to the underside of the lock handle before Brian turned his attention to a new headliner board.
He made a new pattern for this and then cut out the new sunroof headliner, glueing the edges ready to be sewn. The frame bars were then laid onto the sewn headliner and the front wood trim was glued into place.
Wood trim and a chrome surround for the handle were installed before Brian fitted the roof bars in place and glued the headliner flaps around the bars. The sunroof cover was then cut out ready to have its edges sewn.
The front rail was then glued to the hood material and fitting straps were fitted to the sides of the material to hold the frame in place. The cover was glued to the frame and the corners were trimmed before the cover was fitted to the car.
The sunroof was bolted to the car before being sealed with mastic.
The headliner could then be glued and stapled in place while the new headliner board was marked out. The headliner board was cut out and had holes drilled in it for the clips to be fitted. This was then trial-fitted before being covered.
With the addition of the sunroof, our 1978 MGB GT is looking great and will very likely soon be leaving the workshop to be reunited with its owner.
Welding work has continued on our 1968 MGB GT by classic car technician Rob. He cut out and started to repair the corrosion on the right-hand side of the rear chassis leg.
Once this was complete, the right-hand wheel arch and chassis rail was finished too. Rob then went on to repair the rear spring mount and strengthen it to make sure it performs exactly as it needs to when this beautiful classic car leaves the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and heads back out on the road.
Once work has finished on our 1968 MGB GT, its new owner will be found through a draw via Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. Whoever is lucky enough to win this classic car will no doubt enjoy covering many more miles behind the wheel.
Classic car technician Rob has continued his work on our 1968 MGB GT.
He first focussed on the left-hand front suspension. This was stripped ready for new bushes to be fitted before rebuilding.
The left-hand sill and wheel arch underwent some more welding before being primed and sealed, while the right-hand inner sill and arch began to be cut out for more welding to take place.
The right-hand front suspension was then removed ready to be rebuilt. Welding then began on the right-hand side rear inner sill and wheel arch area.
Rob’s work will continue on this classic car as he prepares this future competition car to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Classic car technician Rob has begun the welding work on our 1968 MGB GT.
As you can see from the photos below, Rob’s welding has already gone a long way in improving the condition of this well-known classic car.
Once Rob has completed all the welding work, another assessment will be conducted to work out the next step in our MGB GT’s journey with us here at Bridge Classic Cars.
After checking the levels on our 1975 MGB GT V8, classic car technician Steve found an oil leak coming from the sump plug washer. This was replaced with a new plug and washer which stopped the leak. The oil and oil filter were also replaced.
Steve went on to check and clean the brakes as well as fabricating a new number plate holder as the previous plate was stuck to the bumper of the car.
The washer motor of our 1975 MGB GT V8 was also replaced.
Everyone knows that we love a classic MG here at Bridge Classic Cars. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that one of the latest additions to our workshop is our 1975 MG B GT V8.
This will eventually be a competition car that will be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. However, before that happens, our team of experienced and skilled classic car technicians will put it through a thorough inspection and assessment.
We love an MG and this looks to be a great example of why we do.
Classic car technician Steve has continued his work on our 1975 MGB GT V8. As this will soon be a competition car on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, the workshop team are making sure it is working as it should and is ready to be won by its new owner in the near future.
Steve noticed a dent in the sump which he removed and repaired before reinstalling back onto this beautiful classic MG. As well as fixing the dent in the sump, Steve also fitted a new timing cover and water pump rear housing. This was to replace the corroded and leaking housing that Steve found on the car during his initial inspection and assessment.
The engine of this classic car has been put back together now too which has given the car a big leap forwards toward being ready to leave us and get back out on the road.
Steve wasn’t done yet though as he went on to fit a new exhaust mount and clamp as well as new rear shackle bushes too.
Work continues on our 1975 MGB GT V8 and it won’t be long before it goes live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website ready for someone to win. This will no doubt be a very popular competition but, until then, our workshop team will continue getting it ready for its new owner.
Classic car technician Steve has been looking after our 1975 MGB GT V8 since it first arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
After completing his initial assessment of the car, and resolving some of the issues he found, Steve has been working to diagnose an electrical fault with the high beam.
Steve’s investigations ultimately led him to trace the fault back to dirty contacts on a light switch. These contacts have now been cleaned and checked and the fault looks to have been resolved.
Despite sounding like a relatively small job in comparison to a full restoration, it’s jobs like this that end up making a huge difference to the overall finish and drivability of the classic cars we work on here at Bridge Classic Cars.
Our 1975 MGB GT V8 will go on to be a competition car at Bridge Classic Cars Competitions and we are excited for a new owner to be found for this beautiful classic car, so keep an eye on the competition’s website if you want to win it for yourself.
Classic car technician Rob has been looking at our 1978 MGB GT. As this car is getting very close to being ready to leave us, he has been double-checking that everything is working exactly as it should.
While there is still some work needing to be done on this eye-catching classic car (the sunroof being the main one), it is clear to see that it won’t be too much longer before it drives out of our workshop and back to its owner.
The workshop team here at Bridge Classic Cars have put a lot of time and effort into bringing this classic car back to life. It has recently been started and, like Rob has been doing recently, checks will continue to be done until everyone is satisfied it is good to go.
We love a classic MG so we always love having them come into the workshop. However, it is equally as exciting to see a fully restored MG as beautiful as this one leave us and move on to the next chapter of its life on the road.
Our 1978 MGB GT might not be quite ready to leave us just yet but, once the sunroof is installed by classic car technician Brian, and Rob has finished his checks, we will have to say goodbye to this beautiful classic car. Until then though, we will continue to enjoy having it with us.
The latest addition to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our 1967 MGB GT.
It has come to us for an appraisal and possible further work depending on what our team of classic car technicians find during their assessment.
Everyone here loves a classic MG and this one will certainly get its fair share of attention while it is with us.
Once an initial assessment has been completed, a detailed plan of action for the future of this beautiful classic car will be made.
Our 1975 MGB GT V8 has been undergoing its initial checks and assessment by classic car technician Steve.
When any classic vehicle arrives at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, it is thoroughly inspected and assessed to identify any restoration work that may need to be carried out before the car is ready to move on through its restoration journey, back to its owner, or over to Bridge Classic Cars Competitions for someone to win.
Some of the tasks that were completed to make sure everything is as it should be on this beautiful classic car include Steve checking and cleaning the rear brakes as well as cleaning the sump and engine gasket surfaces before reassembling them.
While Steve was working on our 1975 MGB GT V8, he noticed that there appeared to be coolant leaking from the car. To find the cause of the leak, he removed the inlet manifold and water pump rear housing. Once these were removed, Steve was able to identify that there were actually two leaks – one coming from the inlet manifold gasket and the other from the steel heater pipe under the manifold.
Steve’s inspection and assessment of our MGB GT V8 will continue until he is completely satisfied that the car is ready to move on to the next chapter of its story.
If you can see yourself as the new owner of our 1975 MGB GT V8, then keep an eye on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website as, at some point in the near future, it will be one of the impressive classic vehicles you can win for yourself.
In the meantime though, it will continue its stay in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop while Steve and the rest of the workshop team continue making sure it drives as good as it looks!
Everyone here at Bridge Classic cars loves an MG. We have had lots come and go in the past so it’s always exciting to see a new one come into the workshop.
The latest addition is our 1975 MGB GT V8.
As you can see from the photos below, it is a beautiful car and will soon be back out on the road for everyone to enjoy.
Despite our 1968 MGB GT not being in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for very long, our team of classic car technicians have already begun working on it.
Paul has been assessing the car and has found some rust-related issues that need to be resolved.
While Paul was assessing the mechanical condition of the car, classic car technician Brian got to work on the interior. There was some damage to the driver’s seat that had Brian’s initial focus.
He started the repair process by removing the damaged front squab. He then went on to remove the cover before re-fitting the backboard. New foam was added around the edges of the squab before all the damaged areas were glued.
Calico was added to strengthen the back of the foam before the foam was glued to the frame.
After the repair had been completed, Brian re-fitted the cover back onto the seat and reinstalled the squab back into the car.
It has made a significant difference to the look of the interior of this beautiful classic car by repairing the damaged squab. Now work has started on our 1968 MGB GT, it will continue to make progress through its restoration journey and, ultimately, back out onto the road.
Our 1968 MGB GT has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
As with all the cars that come to us, our classic car technicians will give it a thorough assessment and inspection before its future is decided.
All we know so far is that this is one beautiful classic car to look at.
The interior trim of our 1978 MGB GT has had new hardboard panels made. The finish of the new panels goes a long way in making this classic car look refined and very appealing.
The badges of the car have also been undergoing refurbishment.
Seemingly small tasks like this do a great job of bringing a restored classic car back to its original state so they are very important.
Our 1978 MGB GT continues to make good progress and we are very excited to see it back out on the road in the near future.
One of the classic cars you can win over at Bridge Classic Cars Competitions is our 1981 MGB GT LE.
To show you how cool this classic car really is, Molly and the team headed over to our Bentwaters location to take some photos of the car as well as to do some filming to show it in action.
The finished products look great and you can see them alongside all the information you need to enter the competition here.
Making these types of videos is always good fun and the below photos show just a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes.
Your chance to become the new owner of our 1981 MGB GT LE is here. Entry has just opened for this classic car and you can now get your tickets for the draw.
Our last MGB GT LE proved to be extremely popular so it’s probably best not to wait too long to get your tickets.
All the information you need is available at Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
At our live triple draw on Thursday 6th October, Chris Mann was randomly selected as the lucky winner of our 1970 MG C Roadster.
It must have been a great feeling for Chris when he heard his number, 3027, being announced as the winning ticket.
We delivered this very special classic car to its new owner today and everyone looked very happy to jump in and get on the road.
We wish Chris and his family many miles of happiness and adventure in their new car.
When we launched our 1959 MGA Twin Cam on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions earlier this year, we knew that it was an extremely special car.
The story of this classic car has been an interesting one from the start but it’s not quite over yet.
Since being won by Peter Leyland, the car is still turning heads and is still being recognised for the truly impressive classic car that it is.
Peter got back in touch with us recently and shared some news about the car along with some extra history he has discovered since becoming the new owner.
In September 2022, it was awarded car of the month in the MGA Register News which is a publication by the MG Car Club and it was also the featured MGA in a newsletter from the MG Car Club following the MG Live event held at Silverstone in July.
The photos below show the MGA Twin Cam in all its glory along with some of the great information Peter was able to share with us.
Our 1959 MGA Twin Cam – always a very special car!
As our 1978 MGB GT continues to move through the restoration process, things are progressing well and more tasks have been ticked off the checklist.
Classic car technician Rob has painted and fitted the number plate backing panels, fitted the door trim and handles on the right-hand side of the vehicle, as well as making new backing panels for the C pillar trim.
Rob has been extra busy as he also assembled and fitted the rear anti-roll bar and fitted the rear roof trim too.
Before our 1970 MGC Roadster leaves us to go to its new owner, classic car technician Paul has been rebuilding and refitting the carburetters.
This classic car was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions and will soon be leaving us for the last time as it begins the next chapter of its life on the road.
Classic car technician Rob has been making and fitting the new brake and fuel lines for our 1978 MGB GT.
He also fitted the brake master cylinder, which brings the car one step closer to being able to get back out on the road.
Other work continues on the MGB GT in the form of more trim being installed. This helps the car look much closer to how the finished restoration will look.
Our 1970 MG C Roadster has proven itself to be an extremely popular prize on Bridge Classic Cars Competitons.
When the Roadster went live, it didn’t take long for all of the available tickets to sell out. Unfortunately, that means, if you haven’t got a ticket for our live draw yet, you won’t be able to win it for yourself. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy how beautiful this car really is with our photos below.
We think they do a pretty good job of giving you some idea as to why this one sold out so fast!
Our 1978 MG B GT is starting to look more and more like a complete car.
Not only have our classic car technicians finished fitting the interior carpet, but technician Rob has also fitted the rear seat into the car. With the interior of the car starting to look more recognisable (with the exception of a few missing key components), now is the time when you can really see how cool this classic car will look when its restoration is fully complete.
The finishing touches of any classic car restoration are always extremely exciting. It’s these details that can bring a car to life and back to all of its former glory.
Our 1981 MG B GT LE is now at a stage where the finishing touches are beginning to be added. One example of this is the great job that our friends at the Window Film Centre did with the decalling of the vehicle.
We recently picked up the car after the decalling had been completed and, as you can see from the photos below, the final product looks incredible!
As part of the scheduled checks on the 1934 MG PA, the Bridge Classic Cars workshop have been going through to get a couple of small oil leaks fixed on the car.
Jon, our technician, has gone through the bolts on the underside of the classic MG to cinch down all the gaskets and seals as we had noticed a few minor oil leaks underneath the car while it’s been in the building. With everything tightened down, the car could be run up to temperature and checked over.
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop team are continuing the reassembly of the 1978 MG B GT which is being restored by our in-house team.
This time, our technician Rob, has been getting some of the bigger details installed onto the car. The first was getting the new brakes installed onto the front suspension, the brand new rotors, callipers and lines have all been put into place and checked to make sure everything fits correctly with no interference.
Then, Rob could move onto the getting the rear light assemblies installed into the car to, later on, get the wiring in place and finished up.
Then it was a case of installing the dashboard, heater box and pedal box. All of these have to be in place to also check the fitments and tolerances of each piece individually and together.
The workshop team at Bridge Classic Cars are deep into the reassembly of the newly repainted bodyshell of the 1978 MG B GT, beginning with the front end.
Our technician Rob has been working on getting the front suspension put together and in place on the newly installed cross-member. The spindles and control arms are in place to check tolerances and operations before they will be tightened down to spec and secured.
Also, Rob has fitted up the colour-matched front valance to the car and aligned it perfectly with the rest of the Blaze Orange bodywork.
The workshop team at Bridge Classic Cars HQ have begun to refit and adjust the panelwork from the 1978 MG B GT back onto the car.
Our technician Rob has been working his way from the front of the classic sports car to the back beginning with the front wings. The wings were bolted on followed by the doors in order to adjust and align each of them to get the right fitment and panel gaps as part of the rebuild following the paint and body work being finished off.
Then, after the wings and doors had been adjusted Rob could fit the rear hatch and adjust it accordingly.
